"X"

Observed these française (No it's NOT Nancy)in a shoppingmall one floor below were I stood with my camera. She didn't observed me and I could take some pictures from above. The special POV, the pose (legs crossed) and the shelf with magazines makes it an special view in my opinion. In the WS you find her picture 'en face'

And regarding the title: well you may figure it out yourself. "X" stands for many defenitions!

Hi Hans
I can see you are on TOP off the situation. Well done.
All the best from
Jens.

All the breast from Jens??

oops no i read it incorrectly LOL

Great shot Hans, the art of a good photographer (as I am trying to learn) is all about seeing the shot first, You certainly have an eye for a good image, I like this its different and an unusual POV

TFS regards Helen

merhaba Myfriend Hans;
verynice composition and pov..selamlar

Hi there!
What an unusual shot!
I love the bright colours, and your composition and POV work very well. It obviously helps that she is a stunner!
Great capture!

Hi Hans !
well seen, that's for sure.
well captured her body expression, very dynamic pov and a "clean" and balanced composition.
what i don't like, but of course there was nothing you could do about, is the white plastic bag on her right hand.
what i like and in my pov keeps the capture out from a bit of indecency, is the black pullover,be cause from this angle we might have seen a bit too much.
so a good capture from my pov.
thank you.
sorin

Good work done..
Nice colors and focus too..

Volgens mij moest ze nodig.! (op jouw foto, bedoel ik)
Dit kon je zo niet laten staan, toch ?
Prachtige Plaat.! Kan zo naar the X files.!
Je workshop laat zien dat ze er wel om kan lachen.

Hello Hans,

Very nicely seen daily life shot. Good colors, POV and idea of "X" here. TFS

Vandana

Hello Hans :o)
Great idea ! Well seen the X ;o) She seems to be in the 'assedic' or 'anpe', where you go to find a job ... the magazines speak :o) Lovely colours, well done my friend :o)

And a nice looking Nancy too Hansie...:-)

Whats my opinion on this one you ask, well it looks like she is standing there wanting to go.."Toilet"..LOL..

"X" rated mags, I wonder.. no, but I dont know what they are about, cos I cant read the writing...

Interesting POV Hans..

Cheers

I do like to take people photos, BUT never feel too happy taking photos when I am hidden from them.
It's an interesting POV Hans, and "X" stands for X-appeal, does it?
I think I prefer the WS, only her elbow is cropped off in it because you didn't like her boyfriend, the disturbing boltheaded guy - jealousy, may I ask??
Looks like you had an interesting time in France, with or without Nancy!
Janice

Hi Hans!
The another one pefectly seen and captured photo.Well done.
Cheers.

Hello Hans,

I would call it a shot with dynamic perspective. Besides "X" on the legs, there are "V" in the neck and "q" as a overall posture in addition. Innovativeness is a valued feature of this shot. Brilliant composition my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hi Hans. This is unique. Good for a body language chapter somewhere perhaps. Wonder what she was thinking or looking at that moment? Very original. Murray.
