looks like you were a flying photographer lol great scene from above! (p.s. follow me back on twitter lol)
13 Aug 2009 5:54am
I got a feeling, that they are just waiting for something - perhaps their coming life :)
You have always a new idea for your images -as in this fine one, admirable!
13 Aug 2009 6:22am
I like the depth of meaning in your title and the quote!!! What a great vantage point you chose for this wonderful shot of this grouping.
13 Aug 2009 6:50am
Good b/w and contrast for this meaningful scene :)
13 Aug 2009 7:01am
I so much agree with the quote ! :)) And this vantage point flies over their own inner worlds put altogether... Love that !
13 Aug 2009 8:02am
very nice how you captured these girls. You always have very special perspectives!
13 Aug 2009 8:40am
Love the quote - and the beautiful contrast you have captured here. Sneaky viewpoint :)
13 Aug 2009 9:28am
I don't know what they're all looking at but it seems of big interest ! Great angle Sharon. Are you flying these days ? :-)
13 Aug 2009 9:50am
Sitting the same bench, looking the same direction, but each one has her own position... i like your title and the quote, and those lovely b&w tones very much.
13 Aug 2009 10:16am
A great composition of this photo ,I like it in b&w !
13 Aug 2009 10:29am
Un encuadre maravillosos, el punto de vista de la toma es excepcional. El blanco y negro magnífico como siempre. Siento no poder escribir con más frecuencia.
Un cordial saludo

"Sweet sad songs, sweet sad songs, sweet sad songs / Sung by lonely girls" (Lucinda Williams)
Your beautiful picture of these lonely girls is the sweetest of the sad songs, Sharon. A superb composition & I sure do love the vantage point as well as the tone. Brilliant! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

13 Aug 2009 12:21pm
Wonderful view and great tones in this! I like the perspective you gave with the view from above - very nice work!

A wonderful perspective on this shot Sharon! ;-)
13 Aug 2009 6:20pm
This is wonderful composition. I don't think they are lonely at all since there's a whole pack of them.
13 Aug 2009 8:47pm
Interesting angle. And I like the title very much. Lonely, but not so lonely. I sometimes feel the same.
14 Aug 2009 12:20am
What a quote. I needed to hear this one tonight. I happen to like "me."
Great picture.
14 Aug 2009 3:21am
Oh this is a great shot! I like the viewpoint and lines from the paving.
14 Aug 2009 5:53am
An excellent capture, as is often done. Congratulations.
Greetings

I love the contrast here - Are they waiting for a bus? I see a place for me to sit on the end there ;)
14 Aug 2009 12:37pm
@John Masters: Thanks John. No, this was not a bus stop, but just outside a gallery. By all means, you can sit on the end beside the lonely person all in white ;-)
Excellent angle of view! The contrast is perfect and the composition too. 5 stars as usual... :)
14 Aug 2009 12:39pm
All the body language is so interesting. Love the fact that the top person is cut off adding a bit of mystery.
14 Aug 2009 1:55pm
un cadrage des plus originales, une contre plongé dans ton univers une fois de plus des plus renversante, superbe ^^
14 Aug 2009 2:31pm
I like how you present your images . . as we say with good storytelling "It is the way you tell them" !
14 Aug 2009 6:07pm
Love..love..love this point-of-view. So very creative..and effective in telling the story!!!
14 Aug 2009 6:22pm
I like very much the b/W and the point of view. Well seen and captured, the quote is perfect and right.
14 Aug 2009 8:22pm
Acabo de dar un paseo por tu Blog. Felicidades. Me encanta tu B&W.
14 Aug 2009 9:20pm
a very nice point of vue !!! love your contrasts, a very good shot !!
14 Aug 2009 9:22pm
Like your quote and your vantage point. Did you hit them with your water balloon? :)
14 Aug 2009 9:54pm
@Howard F.: Thanks Howard. Naw. I only do that sort of thing when I'm at a much higher vantage point ;>
looks like they might be enjoying conversing with each other, i like how you shot from up there. creative poitn of view! =]
15 Aug 2009 3:57am
Vue plongeante pour ce N&B contrasté et qui a même un côté graphique
15 Aug 2009 2:32pm
I like the point of view, and the ambiguity created by the lone, cut-off figure at the top of the frame.
15 Aug 2009 8:01pm
nice gritty contrast, and, of course, a great angle.
15 Aug 2009 10:52pm
Great point of view, great bw, love the sunglasses!
16 Aug 2009 7:16am
A wonderful perspective and POV...nice contrast too...they certainly seem to 'like' being together!
16 Aug 2009 7:29am
THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC, VERY APPROPRIATE ANGLE OF VIEW, CHEERS :)
16 Aug 2009 8:18am
Very cool shot and the quote is so true.
16 Aug 2009 3:51pm
Un blanco y negro muy contrastado muy espectacular. Me gusta.
16 Aug 2009 6:27pm
I think I might be tagged as a DOM if I took a shot like this.
20 Aug 2009 4:52am
beautiful tones -- and i love this pov!! :)
20 Aug 2009 7:23pm
Nice POV, Sharon. Did you have to clime a street light to get this? But not only that, you probably managed to be subtle:) Cool shot.
20 Aug 2009 11:07pm
Love the contrast in this. Excellent perspective.
22 Aug 2009 1:43pm
Subtle use of ground lines to frame that girlie trio...
25 Aug 2009 1:57am
I am enjoying this top down angle, the contrast between black and white here is just perfect.
