[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We are the nomads we come we go
with nowhere to stop. We don't travel fast
we don't travel slow
our beds are the stations of buses and trains
our luggage nothing except our names
friends of the light and friends of the shade
we live in fairy tales our forefathers made
we carry the colours of Earth and Sky.
Selling dreams is our profession.
Our pastime - watching the world go by.



Taken in the Belgrade Metro Station.

You captures the speed of the train superbly and complimented your statement in your notes about traveling fast. Wonderful composed photo.

Well done, Marija! Good compo, good sense of speed, and amazingly bright colours for an underground shot. Excellent!

Always wanted to do something like this in a railway station...never got around. Nice colours intermittently and the motion blur is superb. Very well done. TFS

Wonderful presentation of speed and the frenetic life that city people live. Fine photograph, Marija, excellent note too.
Salil

Kusturica, Kustiruca:)))

Hello Marija,

Your note is very nice too.
TFS!

Le rail synonyme d'évasion, peut même se trouver dans une station de métro
Les gens du voyage l'utilisent très peu, trop linéaire
Ils ne suivent pas facilement les voies déjà toutes prêtes
Nous devrions prendre exemple sur leurs volontés de libertés
Qui nous fait si peur, dans ce monde technocratique avancé

Merci, Marija pour cette photographie pleines de lyrisme, qui se prêtent agréablement à une réflexion

Antonio

This is wonderful Marija...what a good photo you made, different than your other photos and I like it a lot. And your note is real poetry...your written by your yourself Marija...well done my friend ;-)

Hello,Marija! This is a very nice daily action shot! I love the movement capted here ,we can feel all the wind that the subway is carrying with it ! Well done! Michel

The essence of your wonderful text is well represented in this colorful image.
All elements comes together to create a classic.

You do great work Marija. You’re too good to be true.

excellent capture! I like the yellow scarf floating in the air...
Perfect!

Bravo! : )

Fred

That yellow scarf is a Wow Factor then we have to add the speedy train Wow Factor. Then there's the kids and the pink hood over the head feature ... lots of Wow Factors.
Now, young lady, here's the gritty input. You complained that my black frames were an issue that we would never agree on and, next thing I know, what do we have here?? AND, I note that you were urging gayle to use a black frame ... I'm confused. I'm secretly smiling ;)

Hello!! Nice piece of work! The colours give the touch that make this photo special. Great capture. In the right moment.
Congratulations!! Be safe. :O)

Very nicely composed, Marija, with very wonderful colours and great sense of movement of the train coming in. I just love the people on the platform waiting for the train and the kids playing. Excellent!

Sorry, I have run out of green smile a while ago!

Wow, what a great shot! Motion is very well catured here, not just because of the train, but because of the composition and movement of this kid's jacket around his head (excellent detail!).
Great shot mare, one of the best! Seems like you are good even with moving objects, not just with architecture! ;)))
Excellent work, this is a lovely start of the day. Colors are really great, I don't want to repeat all those "Kusturica lines", like he's the only one.
Odlično Mareee!
Petko

P.S. Beograd ima metro? Uh, ja stvarno nisam cijelu vječnost bio tamo...

Hi Marija, Nice photo with a good note!
Excellent idea and a great photo, however I'm hesitating on using a different shutter speed! The motion of that yellow headscarf is brilliant but still the family looked better sharper!? hesitating... hesitating...hmmm.
but with a quicker shutterspeed you may have lost the nice motion effect... hmmm... what a dilemma :))
Anyway, Marija it's really a great shot you did a good job! :)
cheers
ToM

You've got some great colors and a great composition going on here. The blur on the train (and even the people) look good. I only have one SMALL complaint. :) I think it could use more contrast. At least make the dark shadows closer to being black then gray. It looks a little "painted" too but that is probably because you were trying to reduce noise because of your camera. Cool shot though! JP

oh that's also great!!! very nice colours, movement, situation...everything seems to be great

Super fotka Mare!
I pokret i kompozicija ali boje su mrak!
Pozdrav!
Branka

i always wanted to do a subway photo like this :) with the train coming in...but its more difficult here in Singapore cause there are many rules here regarding Subways after a few accidents :)

excellent motion blur from the train Maria :)
good street and life photo
