I'm a keen user of short focal lenses like a 28mm or lately I've been using a brand new 50mm extensively as I like to be close to the subject I'm shooting. But in some rare moment, I whished that I had a longer focal lense to capture moment like this one.
This was shot using my zoom at its max focal, 70mm. In the postprocessing, I did a serious crop. Not using the crop tool but selecting and using copy/past.
Thanks to the EOS 5D large sensor, I manage to keep the picture quite sharp and detailed picture even after such serious crop. Check the original crop in the workshop.

très belle photo remplie d'émotion. Cet homme seul dans cette allée de tombes et d'arbres qui se dirige vers cette autre tombe avec une porte...
J'aurai peut-être coupé un peu le côté droit...
Bien vu et bien réalisé!

Even though you were far for the original shot you ve seen the scene really well and i find your crop great, the perspective is great...but the most important for me in the picture is not the technic but the scene itself...a nice shot of daily life or of our next daily life...the atmosphere is nice, a bit nostalgic and really moody,
thanks for sharing it with us ,
best regards.

Hello Romain
This is a most impressive shot. It makes a strong statement about the human condition. The POV and the colours contribute to that, of course.
You're right: the crop makes a huge difference here.
Well done
Silke

Superbe photo, Romain. J'aime beaucoup cette recomposition à partir de l'original. Beaucoup d'émotions avec cette homme solidaire qui se dirige vers la tombe avec les grands arbres de chaque côté. Belle lumière tamisée qui ajoute à l'ambiance. Bravo!

Ca me fait penser a une image de François Mitterand, qui marche seul dans une allée.
Je me souviens plus vraiment des details de la photo.

Tres jolie prise.
