With this urban landscape scene I want to show all of those who do not read Russian that is not difficult at all. I bet all members of TrekLens can read the Russian word in the background. And the other detail I would like to point out is, that not only the Red Army, but apparently also the Russian girls, can walk like soldiers in a May parade. Another candid shot from a big city given the usual treatment.

Cropped, clarfied, saturated, then resized and noisefiltered, and finally sharpened twice before adding the 12% gaussian noise. The original wasn't very good, but I think I saved what I could.

This is almost a decisive moment shot Per. You have caught the girls mid step. Looks amazing the gausian noise you create, really gives atmosphere to the shot. Your composition is excellent love the point of view using the arch as a frame. Great shot. TFS

Peter

Bonsoir Per.
Les charmes de la ville sont aussi les piétons, ces deux filles marchent du même pas volontaire. C'est un beau cadrage, c'est joli.

Per Good evening. The charms of the city are also the pedestrians, these two girls go of the same voluntary step.
It is a beautiful framing, it is pretty.
JP

You are right!! I never thought that I could read Russian!! I am amazed!
The way you caught the girls was fantastic!! That's what I call clicking at the exact moment!

Hi Per,
This theme becomes a must in the reception of all rich house-agents. If you are able to sell some broken glasses to a rich dentist 25% is yours. You can show my work in all the great museums all over the world.

SUSPERSIZE THEM... not me. Controversy with the food of Micky Mac.... No thanks. Sad to see this fast food in so many countries where their food was soooo good now they are adopting to such disgusting crop. That is my personal feeling about this junk food. I much rather have a nice homemade soup with some warm bread and some delicious juice.

Thanks my friend.

bonjour Per
I like this photo and the others from your urban series
maybe you should call this photo synchronicity ... I like the way the feet of both the girls are synchronized .. as if trained in the army
seems like you posted lots of good shots lately ... impressive work
okay Question: why is there so much of noise in this photo ?
laters

You have certainly travelled a lot per. Here you are in Russia framing the famous 'golden arches'(Ms) with iron gates. Love the two women walking in unison. You always seem to click at the right moment.

hey,it's the macdonalds!you had a burger after your photography? ;D i like the opening of the gate in front.i don't like the noise on this one though.compo is good.well done!

This russian Macdo is very interesting, a nice shot giving an evidence from the contrast in between the twwo civilisations.
Well done

Funny, a lot of people think McDonalds is supposed to be spelled like MacDonalds, but the Russians officialy do it like that.

About the picture, it just came to me that the whole series of 'Figures in urban landscapes' could have been taken in one city, except for the McDonalds and Hamburger signs you see... I like that :)
