Another nice and artisanal b&w capture from Budapest taken with good pov and timing.

Nice artisanal framing.

Hello György,
Quite special, isn't it, this photo of an artist at work? Actually, I hardly noticed the artist at first, because the other man, busy maybe with some funny cats on Youtube, is so dominant. It's not the usual kind of tourist photo of the view of Pest, and none of these three persons seem to care at all about the beauty of the city below them. It's a true capture of daily life, I would say.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Gyorgy,the perspective of this pic is truly original! You have always great ideas to show something from famous places like that in different ways.Magnificent capture with the couple heads making a selfie and a very good view of the city in background,well done! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Good morning Gyorgy
Great idea for an unusual image of Budapest and a selfie. The two people to the right make it look even more surreal.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Gyorgy,
He looks rather precariously placed this would be photographer. He is well placed in the frame, making for a strong composition. The city nicely laid out in the background provides other points of interest. Good realisation in black and white; the image has a fine range of tones and very good sharpness.

Hello Gyorgy,

You make me smile!
This is a shot where we cannot quite decide who is the focal character/s!
These three people are so close to each other and yet there is no interaction! Everyone is totally wrapped up in their own 'moment'!
Because the tall guy in jodhpurs is more strongly placed, he just wins out but the selfie couple follow quickly, adding the humour!
An interesting backcloth of Budapest completes a fine b&w shot.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Gy,
Sorry, but this is a cheating title. A selfie is a picture that you take of yourself and I can’t imagine that you are one of the people on this picture. One minus point for the misleading title, but one bonus-point for the marvellous composition. So I give you both point as usual. ;- ))

Hi Gy
my first question is why is the man's pants so wide up at the top! haha....those are some strange pants, is he about to fly off of the ledge?

this is a photo that shows the importance of how to correctly use empty space inside the frame to your advantage.

wonderfully composed, executed very well
cheers

Hello Dr Gy,

this is sio amusing, At first I thought that the big man was making selfie, only than I saw the couple emerging behind the wall. Nice view from Budapest. What are these strange little domes on the right side?

Hi Gyorgy
The in-thing of the 21st century with selfies that becoming a rage but who can blame them just to prove they've been everywhere. But always great fun too, to photograph them in action and you've made excellent use of the situations. Apparently, they have had great fun there and your quick on the draw is well rewarded - two for the prize of one! Congrats.
Best regards

Excellent frame in black and white ....
I love the simplicity of the photo and the amount of information he gives us.

Congratulations on the good work, greetings.
