Blue cabins, a photo from Lucca, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Beaucoup de belles plages sur la côte de Toscane
La plupart sont privées et on peut y louer pour la journée une cabine, un parasol et quelques chaises longues et avoir sa baignade surveillée par un maître nageur-sauveteur

Many nice beaches on the Tuscany coast
Most of them are private though, and it takes 15-25 euros to rent a cabin, a few deckchairs, a beach umbrella and have one's bath watched over by a lifeguard

Bonjour Patrick,

Une photo absolument splendide!

Fantastique composition bi-tonale, un ciel avec des nuages ayant du volume, un sujet qui introduit de la dynamique et, cerise sur le gâteau, sa culotte est assortie.

Cote: triple Wouawwwww ;o)

Bon dimanche,
Patrick

Hello PAtrick
Très dynamique cette image avec cet enfant qui se précipite sur la plage
L'effet graphique est sympa avec ces cabines bleues (bien que légèrement "out of focus")

AMicalement,
Olivier

Bonjour Patrick,

This is a fine view of these lovely attractive blue beach huts and that would have made a very fine photograph in itself. But the inclusion of the little child (in matching coloured shorts!) running across the scene makes this a much more interesting picture!

The child is placed perfectly in the frame and the diagonal line of the huts and the paving in front of them leads the eye well into the picture. Lovely light and colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and sharpness.

Fabulous!

Amicalement,

John.

Bonsoir Patrick,

Belle photo, prise "sur le vif", avec cet alignement de cabines dont le bleu ciel... semble le même que celui du short du petit garçon !

Bonne soirée,

Sylvain

Ciao Patrick
una piacevole composizione nella quale le costruzioni in legno delle cabine marine sono state sfruttate da te in maniera particolarmente efficace e ciò soprattutto in virtù del fatto che il loro colore e la loro struttura, oltre che la loro disposizione si prestavano ad una bella ripresa.
Due soli colori: il bianco e l'azzurro, gli stessi presenti nel cielo ai quali hai aggiunto una bella nota di colore con la figura del bambino che diventa il soggetto principale della foto, arricchendola in maniera particolarmente efficace.
Complimenti.
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

A beautiful upload Patrick.
Striking resemblance between his shorts and the cabins, seems he is living here since eternity.
The feet dangling in air the highlight of the image.

hello Patrick,
this is a beauty! I love the quality of light here. The co-ordination of that lovely summery blue of the huts and the child's shorts is a perfect graphical treasure.

daddo (28748) 2013-09-08 16:34

Bonjour Patrick.There is a lovely softness and gentleness in this composition due to the light blue colour, the delicate nature of the cabins and the delicate presence of the child who looks as if he is part of the ensemble with his blue shorts and golden locks.a lovely moment. Amicalement. Klaudio.

Il a fallu réagir très vite pour "capturer" ce petit ange au bon moment.Très jolie photo....qu'il te faudra vendre pour rentabiliser la location, pas donnée, de la cabine -)
Amicalement

Salut Patrick,
Belle image bien composée avec le bon complément pour donner de l'originalité à ta prise avec ce bambin en mouvement et dont le short est assorti à l'ensemble des cette vue bleue, intéressante photo bien maîtrisée.

Kofman (2366) 2013-09-09 0:47

Bonjour Patrick,
la photo très (encore) vacancière dans les nuances du bleu:
le bleu du ciel;
le bleu des cabanes;
le petit bleu du short de petit garçon.
En tout, l'image très sympatique.
Amitiés,
Elisabeth

Hi Patrick
love this! Not just because of the wonderful beach huts (cabins), which you know are a favourite subject of mine. But it is the delightful little fellow running onto the beach, it just adds that little extra element and is quite special. Excellent Patrick!

Have a good week - Brian.

amaryllis (37047) 2013-09-09 7:50

Bonjour

Hello Patrick
Beautiful complementary colours here, set off nicely by the browns and oranges of the sand and the little lad's skin. He's placed significantly too. I imagine he's intent on getting into the water as quickly as possible.
Regards
Will

salut Patrick

photo de plage plaisante, il suffit de cadrer et attendre le passage d'un baigneur. Bravo pour l'assortiment des couleurs et la spontanéïté du gamin.
Amicalement

Hello, Patrick!

The different tones of blue are wonderful in the picture and the inclusion of the child is excellent to give life to it! The light is perfect! Beautiful composition!

abmdsudi (95869) 2013-09-10 9:36

Hi Patrick
The almost all blue grabs attention to make this work, a delightful shot and proofs on how the small powerful elements can make lots of different. The rest of the elements flow together and help the eye through the picture. A splendid shot, well done.
Best regards

krzychu30 (15512) 2013-09-11 1:02

Hello Patrick,
beach huts equally picturesque as we´ve seen on Brian´s pictures.Here in your composition we gen an additional bonus,namely this child running(or just fooling around) in front of the huts.It gives the scene very nice,carefree and joyful feeling.

Have a nice day
Krzysztof

Bonjour Patrick,

I noticed this yesterday on FB, and seeing it now on a larger scale is even more impressive! What a great shot, you've lined this up splendidly to use the color and pattern to be most effective...and the little boy cutting across the foreground is just the cherry on top. :) A small infusion of liveliness and of course, the human element which always carries with it some character.

The blue sky is just the right touch of color against the soft pastel tones of the huts, as well as the contrasting corner of sand/dirt. All in all, a very pleasing an upbeat visual. Enjoy the day ahead. Thanks for notes today, I very much appreciate the sentiment. Take good care.

Friendly regards,

Jason

macjake (98486) 2013-09-19 5:52

Hi Patrick
now this is a photo!
totally captured my attention with all the blue, but then at closer inspection the boy steals the show.

I didn't even notice the boy in the smaller thumbnail shot.

the powder blue color, combined with the clouds and the boy make this very sweet.

cheers
craig

adores (46979) 2013-10-06 16:50

Hi Patrick!
Really beautiful, not just the row of bue cabins, but also the moment you captured, with the little child running from them. I like the sense of motion and light and colours are very good.

Corry (4508) 2013-12-13 20:51

Bonsoir Patrick

Une belle prise de vue de cet alignement de cabanes bleues sous un ciel partiellement nuageux. La présence de l'enfant qui court ajoute à la composition. Une belle réussite photographique. Bravo.
