The composition is a stroke of genius. This is very beautiful.
4 Mar 2009 5:45am
I like the processing. It gives the shot a very mysterious story.
4 Mar 2009 5:46am
Attendre... la seconde qui fera toute la différence....
Merveilleuse photo.... un cadrage que j'adore...
4 Mar 2009 6:05am
An image that seems like it's inside my mind.
4 Mar 2009 6:13am
I think this is a very deep meaning image, very suggestive. Good composition.
4 Mar 2009 6:38am
Wonderfull processing, ... this image has a story ... well done!
4 Mar 2009 6:50am
Those words hit right in the heart. Excellent angle and use of DOF.
4 Mar 2009 7:04am
I really like this shot. Perfect composition and processing.
4 Mar 2009 7:16am
I pause and do neither. best...jerry
4 Mar 2009 7:47am
And yet wandering about can be pleasant from time to time. Superb shot!

Feeling paralyzed, yes, it's awful, but sometimes important to stop & think or (better) feel before going ahead... Waiting is one profile, acting is the other one of that Life face. Love your compo & blur*
4 Mar 2009 8:20am
Fantastic! I like this detail in the ambiance intemporelle of the picture! Beautiful!
4 Mar 2009 8:57am
Love the feeling in your composition and the blur in background. very original framing, I take this hand and go for a little walk...
4 Mar 2009 9:24am
the wait is in the hand hanging along the body, in this vagueness that said the passage of time, in this frame diagonally. This is an image that speaks.

Again black and white a spectacular one, Insinuates more than it shows and it leaves open to the door to interpretations and valuations. Good photo.
Greetings
4 Mar 2009 11:31am
I love the subtle hint of what you are looking at. Wonderful construct of the image.
4 Mar 2009 12:48pm
audacious and beautiful compo! Nice text too :)
4 Mar 2009 12:52pm
Very good! The hand could become a weapon, hold a tool, help someone, give a caress, your photo leaves all options open and makes us think, bravo, 5 stars!
4 Mar 2009 12:52pm
ah, cool hand luke! leaves my mind wondering what he's up to! good one!
4 Mar 2009 1:10pm
The mere glimpse of this person really gives a sense of being there.. almost in the picture, part of the scene. Very well done and interesting.
4 Mar 2009 1:30pm
This is seriously well observed. Loneliness, despair are the feeling this leaves me with. Great work.
4 Mar 2009 1:55pm
Great control of focus. Makes you want to look and see who he is waiting for. Well done.
4 Mar 2009 2:22pm
être là au bon moment , toujours, sur les chemins du regard et de la vie ^^
4 Mar 2009 2:37pm
Poignant quote! Exquisite composition and processing to capture its inner meaning!
4 Mar 2009 3:08pm
So well focused. And a lovely quote which actually gives the meaning to the shot.
4 Mar 2009 3:11pm
A strong mood of melancholy and struggle has stunned me... Great catch!
4 Mar 2009 3:13pm
This composition has a really powerful message especially when paired with the quote.
4 Mar 2009 5:31pm
When waiting for someone or for something, everything else gets blurred.
4 Mar 2009 5:34pm
Muchas de tus imágenes parecen intemporales. Si me dijeran que están sacadas de algún libro de fotografía clásica me lo creería. Un gran trabajo con una genial composición y una perfecta iluminación.
4 Mar 2009 5:42pm
Looks almost dangerous.
The title of the photo only intensifies that feeling.
Nicely done!
4 Mar 2009 7:23pm
This is a really cool shot. Your titles always have a way of changing the way I look at your shots. Excellent.
4 Mar 2009 7:32pm
Not knowing what to do????? I've been there. However, sometimes you just have to decide and take responsibility.
4 Mar 2009 9:05pm
nice emotional photo sharon! tests an individual's patience here!
4 Mar 2009 9:09pm
superb framing here...love the shallow DoF...
4 Mar 2009 10:16pm
great quote from a great author and story teller. I like the relaxed hand. hands fascinate me in art
4 Mar 2009 10:29pm
Very cool. I need to get back into some street photography. If the guy were wearing any color except black this wouldn't have been as good. Great moment.
5 Mar 2009 1:07am
Wow...you hit home with me on this saying. Just lovely....the picture the words.
5 Mar 2009 4:04am
yes, it gives the feel of waiting. well done.
5 Mar 2009 4:11am
Love the framing/point of view on this shot. Nicely done.
6 Mar 2009 1:18am
Nice, the hand makes us the person walking next to him... great atmosphere.
6 Mar 2009 2:49am
Wonderful and sad quote for this photo. Really like how you've composed this with the background blurred. One can't quite make out what's coming or going.
6 Mar 2009 3:47am
Everything shouldn't always be in focus. Knowing when it shouldn't be is the hard part.
9 Mar 2009 3:34am
Only You can do that....
Sharon, I wish to establish a more constructive collaboration between us, I tried in the past, but I just see you once a month with 3 very interesting comments, it's not enought, to my opinion :) I always try to share honestly my ideas and tricks... Up to you, and the time you have left :)
