Hello Florentina. What for a beautiful and strong motive. Congratulation to this unusual photo. In addition I can only say: masterfully, perfectly. For me this photo is a photographic maximum performance. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Na servus Flory

la inceput...m-am blocat...apoi mi-am zis...nu se poate...Flory?...no way...
m-am uitat la datele exif...si-a schimbat oare aparatul?...
mititelu` isi face bestial treaba...normal...fiind in mainile tale.

de admirat...cred ca si de invatat...d.p.m.d.v. e superba
in minte imi vin acum niste fotografii ale unui fotograf ;-)...care abordeaza pov-ul asta...

gata...m-ai lasat fara cuvinte.....................................

peste 2 saptamani posibil sa vin la suciu...;-)

o seara faina,
mister bitter :-)))

Na servus Flory>:P

she stands so solid out there, looks like a strong personality indeed... and your low pov helped to express it i think... loved her flori, and loved the background too...

te pup doc

Buna,
Traind in Maramures, ai clar o multsime de ocazii din astea. Din alt timp, dar totusi contemporana. Unghiul super, Leontina o femeie zdravana. Dar daca ii aratsi fotografia cu masculii din San Francisco, pun pariu ca o dai gata ;-))

Hi Flory,
This picture called my attention because it is a beautiful image, of course, and because today I was raking our piece of land, like the lady was doing (I think she has a rake) - our garden is not big but it is a hard work... at least for me who was not accustomed to rural life ;-)
I like a lot the low POV with those pretty flowers in the foreground and the view of the beautiful buildings in the background.
Thanks for sharing,
Docarmo

Hello Florentina.
Marvellous photo.
The woman stands alone, so imposing and resolutely looking away from the camera in her field. The colours are superb, the trees and church behind so sharp, the sky wonderfully exposed. Most important of all, adding the delicacy, are those little white flowers. A great photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Sa fi stiut ea tanti Leontina ce fotografie grozava o sa-i faci, ar fi acceptat de la inceput, Floricico :) - excelenta treaba! Imi plac tare abordarea semiprofil, low pov-ul (foarte, foarte inspirat fotograful :) ), lumina, claritatea, culorile naturale. Povestea, Floricico, povestea este minunat spusa, f. convingator.
bravo! bravo! pentru mine, una din cele mai bune imagini ale tale :)

p.s.
si continuarea ? unde-i continuarea :) ?

dearest Flory
what a wonderful photo of a wonderful woman in a wonderful outfit. the sky, the churh in BG the the perspective in the POV the comp etc... everything is so good. you've taken a lot of really good picture but this is my favorit of yours.
Don't work to much try to use your camera and your talent more often and I and others here on TE would be so pleased.

riclopes (35577) 2009-05-01 0:46

helllooo Floriii, I see that you've been busy. Two new photos from you is a reason to make a party :)) For an old woman sheperd that doesn't like to be photographed, this is fantastic. Problably she thought you weren't including his face, just her skirt and feet. Still, she has a shy pose with her arms protecting the body, her mind lost in thoughts about stories of the past...Great shot. Love the way you included the church in between the tilted stick and tree.
Now we are all waiting for the continuation of the story tomorrow... ;-)

Such a remarkable portrait of her strength and what a sense of presence - the foreground and back ground detail is as exquisite as the detail you have captured in her - a great POV too. A favourite of this year.

Hi spring girl! This is an astonishing photograph... as if a real-life illustration from a fairy-tale.

many greetings to you in your beautiful Maramures!

Vasa (515) 2009-05-11 14:49

I like so much all your last six pictures. This is supposed Romania in my mind. The subjects so near by to me. This portrait is wonderful Flory with all details behind. You are real master dear friend.

Hello Florentina
How are you? long time no see ;)
I like very much the low pov giving a great impact on your model (finally) ;) The light is very pleasant and it is nice to see the church behind the fence adding context to the image. Colors, framing are excellent too!
Have a nice week-end
Marily

Nicou (193806) 2009-10-13 8:26

Hello,

Fantastique portrait complet de cette damse dans les fleurs, avec son bâton et ces habits de la régions, superbe cadrage et mise en valeur, avec l'église dans le coin, superbe.

Bravo et maitié

Nicou

One more great photo!

Paulo Miranda

I look forward to tomorrow...:)

Florentina ,
She looks healthy and strong, composition tells me strong comes from nature not from the big city most of us live in :)
Great POV!
regards,
Hakki

BennyV (34748) 2011-09-14 10:30

Hello Florentina,

A less obvious picture than the one you posted afterwards, less obvious beauty, but this one is my favourite, because there is much strength in this woman's stance (and the way you portrayed her).

Hi Florentina,
I like so much your portrait of country woman taken outside. The background is so soft almost like a painting. It is beautiful spring day with flowers like a carpet. Great composition, colors, light and sharpness.
Thank you for New Year wishes and I wish you all the best in 2012 and a lot of beautiful shots.
Best regards,
Zbigniew
