Can you blame him?, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

I recently went to the National Gallery of Art in Melbourne with a friend of mine. He is an architect from Toronto and he pointed out details in the local architecture that made the trip into the city more interesting. I got to appreciate the art on the walls in the gallery as well as the structure of the building itself.

This photo is taken inside the front entrance of the gallery. Continuous water streamed through the front windows. The doorman out front became distracted momentarily - I guess sometimes the paintings on the walls are not the most interesting thing to look at here.

Hi Warren,

Hahaha, wonderful capture! Guess I would be slightly distracted as well.
It's more about the moment then the picture in this one. Very difficult with the backlight. Fill-flash would have been nice, but well, by the time you have your flash and diffuser the 'decisive moment' has well gone by... And the wall of water in the background does not make for easy focussing either!
Nice one!

Greetings, Dennis

Good moment capture, Warren
Nice moment of girls. The doorman who was watching them were shown in a blur image through a steamed glass which gives a nice effect to the whole picture. They are all in nice composition.
Good candid.

Hi Warren,
I like the sillouettes. The water on the glass makes a very interesting background. The positions of the three different people are all interesting. Who's the door man really looking at?

Nice,
Brian

Nice one. I also have posted an image of this waterwall, shot from the inside. Don't know about you, but I had a great deal of hassle from the security guards anxious about me having a camera inside the gallery...

Really cool pic Warsy. I'm not surprised to see you captured such a fleeting moment - you were probably watching them for some time. Great job capturing this spontanous shot in the moment.

You have really a good eye.
This is a great action shot with good title and story.
The silhouettes provide all the information necessary to understand the point and the man is nicely hidden behind the glass.
Very funny!

Hi Warren,

good choice of title, perhaps the technicals qualities could have been better but the idea of the shot, the position of the characters, the man behind the window, all of that is really good
