Still in the Provence. Now a little town called *Les Beaux de Provence*
(Alistair MacLean wrote a book called:Caravan to Vaccares with Les Beaux as center decor )

In a little courtyard/square I noticed this young Gypsy girl having her icecream .. not willing to share with the dog, who looked with fixed eyes
to all the movements of the girl, but she absolutely had no compassion with the dog ^__^.

She would have made a great subject for a painter.
This sort of situations we can only dream of as photographers .


Thanks for popping in Folks
Have a great Easter!

Kind regards
John T

Hello John,
An image very different from your usual landscapes but which has a great evocative power. The composition is very simple and effective. I like the glance and the pose of this child. Even the dog is moving in its feverish waiting. Very very good shot. Happy Easter to you and Yolanda! Annie

Nice capture John!

A wondeful composition here and yes a dream situation to come across. The dog is definitely focused on the ice cream and the girl's expression seems that her peace is being disturbed from a coupe places ;) Or her eyes may be pleading with you to take the furry little beggar away. Excellent slice of life captured John!

Love and Peace always
Kevin

would make a great Norman Rockwell

Gosh, where have you been hiding this one, John?! It's REALLY good! The poor puppy's feet are cut off, but who cares?!

What else do you have hiding in those vaults??? This may be my new favorite of the ones you've done! I seem to like your "little girl" shots. :)))

Fantastic!
Gayle :)

Hi John,
This ice cream looks very good and I'm sure the dog would have love it (in one bite :) ).
Very nice photo with a great subject, excllent sharpness and superb colors.
Have a great Easter with Yolanda my friend.

Yes John I see your point, like a painting one could
see in Monmartre -Paris. I have another expert here , sitting on my lap now, daughter Demi wanted to tell oncle John she likes this and hope the dag had his bit to :-)) Fijne dagen voor Jol en jou en we spreken elkaar nog. Groet van ons drietjes :-)

Hi John,

This is very good you know, I find it amusing and humorous. This has good colour. The BG and pavement are excellent and the texture gives the image a painted feel. Your composition is superb. I hope the dog at least got to lick the ice-cream stick. Have a happy Easter, kindest regards

Wayne

Hallo John.
Zeer mooie en ongedwongen opname. Geweldig.
groet Frans

Hi John, nice natural capture. Very good colors. The unconcerned manner of the girl to the dog, looks funny actually. I think you did some cloning on the wall and the stones. Repetitive textures left a little, but its good shot..
Have a great weekend!

Hi John,

Excellent capture and well done on the composition. The heavily post process in the background is o.k. could use some tweeking, you did well.

Mike

Gee a saw that often... Cat or dog... When we have food... :) I like the catch of the moment you catch! Enjoyable scene!

Mooi miniatuurtje; zou zo in een rijtje passen van een galerie.
Wat rood is is wel erg rood, maar het maakt het mooi.
Groet

Wonderful photo John, the only thing lacking is seeing the dog drooling. Great colours, lovely POV and a very pretty little subject. Happy Easter to you and yours and TFS,
David
PS Many thanks for your comment on Longford Views

Hi John,

Poor puppy! I would have given all of my ice-cream... :)
Her expression is great! She seems to enjoy it and doesn't want to share it with anyone. I wish I could see the dog's expression, too.
Very well captured and presented with great colours!

Take care and Have a great Easter you and Yolanda!

Con and Helen :)

Great capture of the event without spoiling it with shadows! A great photo done by you!

Hoi John,
Prachtige foto met een super sfeer. Het meisje heeft echt geen aandacht voor de hond, maar de hond ook niet voor haar. Het gaat allemaal om het ijsje. Prachtige kleuren en een perfect plek voor deze mooie foto.
Groeten,
Niek

Dit is echt zoals Huub ook schrijft een schilderijtje !Wat een uitdrukking op dat koppie. De hond kan barsten wat haar betreft :-)
Goed moment op het juiste moment vast gelegd Doei
Joos

Hi dear BJ, this is a very good subject you caught here. Very good decisive moment :)

It is so cute to see the dog waiting for his share ;))

Good composition, colours and croping.

Take care, sis :)

Hi John,
this one is so lovely, what a cute arrangement, I like it. I wish you Happy Easter. I've been on a short trip at the parents and family the last 4 days - also in Venlo for shopping ;-)
Now I'm glad to be back at TL and TN, bye

Yes, she said, it is ALL mine!!
Lucky capture John. When you see this situation you have to act fast. And I bet the dof stayed there until the icecream was all gone!
Good shot, thank you

John,
I like the concentration of the dog. He is probably drooling for that ice cream. I wouldn't share mine either! I tell my dogs, "get your own"! :)
Good capture! Great notes. Very powerful.
