Lady with the umbrella

Uploaded: January 27, 2005 00:10:58

Description

It was raining and I watched her from my office window and couldn't resist my temptation to capture her movements... I wanted to see her face...wished that she would look up but she never did.... Still wonder what she was like??!!!

That was me under that umbrella SJ !!! Only kidding - but it *has* been heavily raining ALL DAY in Brisbane :-(
Very depressing but your gorgeous capture has cheered me up.

Leanne M.E. Boyd January 27, 2005

I really admire minimalists - excellent image - simple and effective! I wish I could do this, but my character won't let me - I got to fill all the space. #1065908

Dan Holm January 27, 2005

Tremendous shot, Sanjay!! The lighting on this is fantastic! Excellent work, yet again! #1065911

Jordi Delgado January 27, 2005

This is just beautiful, Sanjay!! The line made by the different tonalities on the pavement frames her wonderfully!!

Love it!!!!

Cathy Stancil January 27, 2005

Somehow my comment did not show, so here I am again...I like the mystery of this and the sepia tone ...Great composition as always. I think it has been raining almost everywhere today ! #1065919

Stanley J. Contrades January 27, 2005

I'm going to ditto Leanne's responses if you don't mind, Sanjay (or Leanne for that matter), as this is simply an effective use of lighting to create this excellent image! Bravo!
Much Aloha,
Stan #1065924

Watching ladies from office window? I'm sure you're THE BOSS in your office!!
The texture of the road, the gait of the lady, the shadow falling ahead and the B/W effect really adds mystry to the picture!! Who's she? Donna? Madonna?

Fantastic capture, Sanjay!!! Simply fantastic.... #1065929

Mata Patan January 27, 2005

What a pity, Sanjay, I really think she was pretty. Nice capture and light. Well done! #1065946

Patricia Marroquin January 27, 2005

Sanjay, you better not wonder too much about what she is like, your wife won't like it! LOL! Seriously, excellent image and I think it just wouldn't be quite as nice seeing her face. :-) #1065970

Judy S. Fung January 27, 2005

Terrific image, Sanjay. Great catch, but remember, you're married. :) #1065999

Marsha S. Smith January 27, 2005

I love everything about it. The tones, the glitter of the rain on the road, the fact that she appears totally alone in the world. Beautiful image. #1066005

Excellent image, Sanjay! I love the tones, lighting and perspective! #1066060

Marcie A. Fowler January 27, 2005

Excellent image Sanjay. Love the sense of mystery of not being able to see her face. Now each viewer can come up with their own story. Why was she there, where was she going, did she know she was being watched, etc. That's what I love about your images . . . so many possibilities. Great lighting and composition on this. Think we may see it again. #1066076

Cathy Gregor January 27, 2005
