Sound reflections

Smurfie didn’t make it easy with the theme “sound”. How do you picture for heaven sake sound? Well after digging in my photo archive I found some images from Queensday in 2007. Found this one suitable and did some PP work on it. This tuba player could be found behind the St. Bavo cathedral in Haarlem, which is reflected in the tuba. One year ago I posted a different image with reflections in a tuba. You can find that picture here.

It was a challenge to contribute to the theme this week and hopefully I succeeded to post an appropriate picture.

PP work:
Cropped, adjusted contrast and saturation, brightened a tad. Selected tuba player inversed selection and blurred it (Gaussian blur 20%)

Hoi Hans,

Mooie en kwalitatief goede inzending voor de sound thema. DOF is perfect waardoor de aandacht uitgaat naar waar het hoort. De reflectie is prachtig. Framing is top.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hi Hans,

Waar heb ik nou pas zo'n tuba reflectie ook gezien - Frans (MrLittle) misschien?- Het werkt fantastisch.
De hele compositie is aantrekkelijk zoals je die voorschotelt hier.
Ja, dat moet een prima geluid hebben gegeven.

Hi Hans

A fantastic reflection, & good entry in the theme. Perhaps I'd add a little yellow, to allow for the slight blue colour cast, caused by the shadow. Perfect dof & crisp sharpness, on key areas of this superb image. Tfs!

hello dear hans

lovely shot with reflections
very well composed,
good sharpness, clarity and dof

very sound image for the theme

Great thinking for this weeks theme, Mr. GB. I really like everything about this.. how it is presented the wonderful double reflections in the tuba and I am so impressed with the composition of it all. Just excellent work and I can in fact almost hear the music. Well cone.

Hans,
This is great on a couple of levels; the core image, and it's blue color is very neat and well done, but add to that the reflected image and you have one very well done presentation of both the band and the environment they played in, including the weather.
The image says so much at once and does, to me, portray sound if nothing else.
Well done,
Wilt

Bravo GILLES

Great idea. Excellent photo. I love the brightness/shine of the tuba and the extraordinary reflections on it. Beautiful colors. I, also, like the way you blurred the background and left the music papers for us to see. Too bad I can not give you 20 points.

Lorena

A very good contribution to the theme Hans.

Well... for me the sound is certainly audible - so much for imagination that still brings memories of sound for me. OK I am degressing - I like the lovely reflection and the "feeling" of action from the tuba palyer's hands

nice framing too.

TFS and your much appreciated comments on my Young Musicians photo.

Hello Hans,

A great idea and PP, excellent POV, a very good contribution to the Friday theme. TFS

Wonderful shot. Such a wonderful view with reflections in the tuba - we colud see the ypical Netherland buildings. Well framed too.
Best wishes,

Hi Hans,
My favorite entry of this week's theme. The framing is superb, and musicality is evident with the inclusion of the sheet. And of course, the reflection on the horn is a highlight. Greetings! Danilo

Hi Hans
You found the perfect shot for the theme.
Definitely different from mine.
The reflection is so clear, and I like your composition of the musician with a bit of the music.
Definitely not a white tie and tail event with the "clothes pins".:-))

Hello Hans, this is a good photo for the theme.
This is a very nice close-up on the man and his instrument. Great reflections, and blured bg.
I love the lighting and the depth of colours.

Cheers. Yan :)

Hoi Hans,

Prachtige reflectie!! Ik heb nog zitten zoeken of ik de fotograaf er nog in terug zie, maar je hebt de dans ontsprongen. Mooi!

Groeten, Dennis

Fijne compo, zeer mooie DOF
Wie heeft er fisheye nodig wanneer er een
tuba voorhanden is :-)

Het enige waar ik, voor mezelf, nog niet uit ben is de belichting " van het vlees ".
M'n eerste idee was " nogal donker " maar,
langs de ander kant komt nu de mini-wereld er
letterlijk schitterend en opvallend uit !

Dus " toppie " Hans
hahahahahaha >;-)

Groetjes
Jan

Wow!
What a great idea!
Superb work here.
Not only you've made a perfect shot for the theme, but also captured some good reflections.

Well done
Thomas
