Hi Flory,
what a strange place! Impressive composition, the bulb in the middle, the instruments hanging from the ceiling, the (rather tired looking) boy in the corner - all the elements necessary to tell the story. Really good!
Regards, Johannes

Hello florentina. Photo and titles complement each other perfectly. The snapshot pleases me very well. The photo obtains the actual value by the seriously looking boy. The photo is fascinating in strange way. A good shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

buna dimineata, floricica ;o)
da' cum umbli tu doar prin locuri fotogenice? ;o)
de efect toata compozitia - ciudata putin (intr-un mod vizual atractiv) - cu privirea baiatului usor pierduta (asa cum ne-am astepta de la un viitor artist - chiar daca doar repara instrumente ... trebuie sa fie putin artist), instrumentele atarnand din tavan si celelalte de pe raft, (omniprezenta - in locurile astea) soba de terra cotta ... lumina cat trebuie (sau mai exact cat se poate) ... o viata de oameni - asa cum e ea.
interesant

ps: yep, i 'heard' the blue ... still hearing it ;o)

Buna Flori,
Imi place atmosfera redata, si accentuata prin nuantsa albastruie a fotografiei. Baiatul are o privire intensa insa departe, lumina becului il pune aproape in colimator, iar tromboanele (tubele) atirnind de tavan dau un aer bizar, surealist imaginii. Misto de tot.

A very special atmosphere. A nice composition. It could be a shot on National Geographic.
Very interesting

Another one? Yupieeeeeee!!!! Olllllá Flô, how have you been? You seem absent, but not really - you are aware of things but have little time. That can bring the creativity (I mean, the blues) out of your soul...This blue mood is strong indeed and I love your short and effective note to give it more meaning. I'm reading a book with magicians and this seems pretty much the mood of the book - may be this is a magic shop - how many stories all those instruments have to tell? Anyway, the boy is the necessary human element here, but it's those beautiful big mouths hanged on the ceiling that make this image so attractive...and the fireplace with a tiny hat...and the other details that makes the place Blue. The composition makes an arc connecting the 2 oposite corners, like a musical note.

Hi Flory. Wonderful composition, wonderful atmosphere. Well captured your timing and handling of light are spot on. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

gary91 (15348) 2008-06-13 1:19

Hello Florentina,
I like this image for this very specific mood and the very original construction. The blue atmosphere suits very well to the subject and the look of the young apprentice, lost in his thoughts, is very well captured.
Have a nice day,
Best regards, Christian

Ciao Flory,
a new picture from you, how nice :-)
Indeed the blue is strong to the point not even the lamp manages to bring warmth to this scene. Good you have hot days, here we are freezing, well maybe if this continues we'll get some snow for summer ski ;-)
Have a nice week end JY

foarte faina,punct de vedere original si naturala(fara o prelucrare stridenta).Imi plac mult culorile si lumina,printre
cele mai interesante vazute recent.Salutari,
Horatiu

Hello Florentina,

The positioning of the instruments is impressive, as is the look of the apprentice. Great work.

Talkin' musical instruments repair shop blues!

Ambitieux ... et réussi . De la personnalité et de la recherche dans cette composition , c'est bien ! Un endroit , un peu triste , des regards qui se croisent ...

I've got the blues .... ( pa pee da pa pee da pa pee da pa ... pon pon )

mirarer (4751) 2008-06-13 12:14

Hola Florentina,
Todo en la foto, el ángulo de visión, la mirada seria del joven, los instrumentos musicales colgando del techo, los colores, contribuyen a crear una atmósfera extrañamente atractiva.
Saludos,
Mirari

BitterMoon (2776) 2008-06-13 12:25

Good evening Florentina :-D

I feel it too,but more I can feel the green ;-)

Admiting that I didn`t look very closely the first time...rush hour :-)),now I have all the time in the world to look at.
That bulb it`s really annoying :-D,but it gives a good touch to the entire composition.Looks...cool...because of the blue touch.
Have you catch nicely the young apprentice and the entire repairing shop....hope he`ll be very good in the bussiness.

Sper ca data viitoare sa ma duci prin locuri d-astea...acum te iert...eram in criza de timp...dau vina pe weekend...:-D

Weekend cool =;-P

PS:ar fi ok un weseu?...:-))))...astept :-)))))))

Hiii Floricico :)

mai exista ateliere d-astea de reparat ceasuri, pantofi, umbrele, aparate foto, masini de cusut, instrumente muzicale si mai stiu eu ce minunatii ? - grozav, ma-ntorc cu ceva ani buni in timp cand vad astfel de imagini (ma gandesc ca multe mestesuguri/ meserii s-au pierdut ...).
Imi place mult imaginea, Floricico (ma bucur ca ai postat ;) ) - f. interesant compusa, originala - bine incluse in cadru instrumentele alea atarnande. Imi place tare si becul - pata de lumina portocalie (asa se vede la mine pe monitor) aduce putina 'caldura' atmosferei 'blue' si e placuta combinatia de culori.
Mai pune, mi-a placut ce-am vazut :)))
Te-am pupat :)

trombonishti, trompetari si saxofonari, im fine o poza si pentru voi! asteptarea a meritat!uraaa!ia uite cat albastru, mancat-as!

Hi Flori
It doesn't seems the shop where are repaired the musical instruments any way I like your POV. Unusual, well captured and nice details
Kisses
Aires

MayaG (2415) 2008-06-15 11:08

Ms Flori,
I saw this photo a few days ago while casting a quick glance to TE gallery, and promised myself to find you as soon as I have time to write...
I like it so much! A great work, dear, especially with the title, moody and sensitive. I guess I'm touched because I feel close to this type of scenery. You composed this song perfectly :)))
lots of regards
Marija

Vasa (515) 2008-06-16 1:24

Hi dear Florentina,

the silent shop for the strong instruments. Good idea to show us this corner in Timisoara, near by my country. Nice photo and don't forget the Festival in Guča in Serbia form 6 to 10 August. This instrument is the real star on that event. Many thanks for this charing. Best regards from Belgrade,

Branko

Hi Flory,
How can you find this kind of place ? So interesting , and the boy is looking so sad.
A fantastic composition,
Compliments,
Best regards,
Zeynep

Hi Flory,

Romania has strange moods, and places too...
It sounds musical...
Good capture.
Hope you enjoy life...
Haahaha, EURO is on way... and ..do u watch that?

Take care..

molla (7129) 2008-06-23 2:52

Dearest Flory,
I 'd mist this wonderful image of romanian horn blues, and like Others I'd also mist your presence here on TE, though I fully understand them limits of time that life gives and the choise we have to make to get something out of it.
Blue is one choise and a pretty good one :)
keep on posting and give us a wink when ever your in the mood.
Anders whos home with his kids today.

raszid62 (18457) 2008-06-25 4:08

Amazing tune very it attracts attention, every element of picture is interesting independent subject, and these elements are really intriguing together.

Mistral (15416) 2008-06-27 11:16

Hola Flory,
welcome back with this moody shot! The blue light really made the image. The apprentice is right where he has to be!
A smile for your weekend!
Luca

Emile (20352) 2008-06-30 21:38

Hola Flory.
Nice scene with the boy bellow the instruments hanging from the ceiling, very good light, clarity and composition. Great colors too.
Well done.
Cheers.

noborders (1010) 2008-07-02 23:41

What a dreamy and original photo ! The somewhat dark atmosphere adds to the charm of it, all the heards of the hanging horns are so humoristic in a way : I would say, it's a masterpiece of a sort !
Just lovely... I'll add it to my 2nd favorites, I like a lot its fantasy !
Bravo,
Warm regards,
Cath.

fabio_ts (13696) 2008-07-15 1:03

What a great portrait Flory, a superb light, I love how you have captured the boy's look with attention to his environment, ...this picture remind to me the fabulous pictures of David Alan Harvey, (www.davidalanharvey.com)

SUPERB!!!

in my fav. :o)

have a nice day,
Fabio.

Henryk_Bilor (20803) 2008-11-08 5:23

Hi Floricico :)
Strange but interesting capture. I would straighten it a bit, but tilted can also be ;). Nice light.
Kisses :)

xavshot (69835) 2008-11-11 11:08

Bonsoir Florentina
belle gestion de la lumière et cadrage bien trouvé. J'aime bien cette atmosphère et l'originalité de la prise; Bien vu.

danos (110407) 2008-11-16 1:57

Good morning Florentina,
nice the snapshot in the interior of the instrument repair shop,with the boy to work as apprentice.In my screen i don't see a blue color but only a light mauve.

Have a nice day,Danos

greg (2835) 2009-02-02 3:12

This one's a great photo... the light is unusual... I like the forgotten instruments and the shinier ones with some life yet, the thoughtful apprentice, the sooty soba. So why were you there? Do you have a trumpet to repair? :)

sayeed_rahman (6461) 2009-04-25 12:03

Hello Florentia

Your galley has some stunning photos i must admit..will find time later to comment on a few ive really liked !

Cheers
Sayeed
