Hi Sylvie!
What a funny slip of tongue! ;P Do you see what I see in the photo? It seems as everyone in this image is alone. And the woman, since I can't see the baby, is also "alone." Her hand is dangling there free...by itself...as if she is waiting for someone...yearning for her hand to be caught up by someone. An image about isolation, maybe? Pretty good.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely, and not only the hand, but also the woman reading on the train in the background. I adore the jeans texture you managed to give to the side of the train. And only you would have slanted the entire image like that - which of course is one of your trademarks.

Well "Sly", the slanted image with the train passing is fantastic, but the hand by itself does not belong there, I think it's too powerful for the rest of the composition and would stand beautifully by itself as the only star in the photo ;-)
You know I am a bit crazy, but I would crop it by the grey area, ok, so no one else would like it, I know, but I would love it ;-) There's a totally different photo down there and I think it's exactly the one that you saw when you took this photo...
Another great work, like only you know how to do. Wonderful.

Ce qui me fascine dans tes images c'est ce don particulier de véhiculer autant d'émotions avec des détails et des éléments furtifs. Tu auras cette main qui serrera la tienne car tu es une femme exceptionnelle!

Hi Sylvie,
interesting shot, with the tilt.. seems that the train goes directly to the woman (and so your unconscious.. and it seems that I wasn't the only one who "catch it" ;-))).
Definitly the shot can be divided in to different worlds and even shots (again the 'Corsican split' is visiting us today).
And don't worry about blur.. it gives a touch of mystery to your shots... are you sure that you don't work as a spy after work?? ;-))
Well done.
Marisa

sylvie, i like the diagonal lines and i think the blur does actually work well for this...
hmm...catch the hand?...women have such delicate things about them that make them beautiful...in this case, the resting hand...
even with the blur, i like the softness of the photo...
this one probably would have been a nice "catch"...

Salut Sylvie !
Je trouve que ta dernière série sur le métro est vraiment très intéressante. J’ai un faible supplémentaire pour cette image. J’aime bien le contraste entre la lumière froide du quai et celle qui baigne l’intérieur de la rame. Quant au sujet principal, on ne voit que sa main, toute la force et là. C’est superbe.
Pour le flou, j’ai l’impression que cela n’aurait pas eu le même impact si la netteté avait été plus grande.
A+

I'm looking at this photo for a days and thinking. This photo have so good composition, not only tehnical, the meaning of composition is gfantastic. Tell us a story.
I must say that I would like that it is more clear, sharp especially the hand. Only hand! Because the hand lead us in.
I ove it Sylvie!

moi j'aime bien la diagonale donné à cette image!
ca donne un bon effet et un style que l'on voit dans certaines revue!....ou certaine affiches pubicitaire.
quand à la qualité de ta photo comme tu dit ,c'est du au condition de lumiere qui ne sont pareil a aucun endroit.
on a evidement pas le temps de parametrer à chaque fois l'appareil.
amitiés....tanbinh.

;) your spy technique is upgrading so quickly,Sylvie~~
the conditions made it blur but i thought it got just the right effect! the tude had the sense of reality like the jeans,and the posture of the woman's hand left a space of imagination:)
cheers,

I guess camera shaked a bit ... but still a very good shot ... I like the abstraction that this photo signifies
bravo

Cette femme lasse dont on ne voit que le bras a-t-elle reçu la rame de métro au complet en pleine figure? Avec tous ces personnages calmes dans leurs contours doux, il semble plutôt qu'elle se passe par la même ouverture où entrent les rêves.
Bel effet.
