Hello TL..Back from a week in Andalucia, Spain

On a day out to the nice town of *Nerja* in Andalucia
and having a drink with friends on a Terrace, this situation popped up for free, right in front of my camera.

Look to the well dressed and well shaped Lady.. and the expression of the Gentleman ...you can make up your own story.. yes?!


Update one day later:
---------------------

For me it was an intresting experiance to see all the diffrent reactions here and the large number of 'just looking and not reacting' vissitors.

Infact I did nothing else than making a photo-momento
I ONLY clicked my camera!

*I did not pick the clothes of this Lady that morning,
*I did not ask the man to look as he is doing here..

See my point?? All the action is done by others!

I realy had fun posting this after I read an article in a magazine in my vacation about behaviour of people!
Thank you all!!

Hey John.. Very interesting POV... I think the man on the bench adds to the thinking of the photo....
Plus she has the cutest little handbag! ;)

Sounds like you had a very busy September!


Tricia

nice citation of Eco..
the shot is full of sensuality.. it's not for ur shot indeed, but for this girl.. i think i should also have a worse expression.. i'm not proud of it.. but beauty is beuty.. women are all beutiful.. it's a my defect! ;)
ok situation is well taken.. i little cut on the left side.. but it's ok.. good timing.. well done John..
ciao ciao
Marco

Well spotted and shot, John. I like the composition and it's a good spontaneous capture.
Cheers, John.

John T,
you are bad boy,(thank you Linda for his reaction on "the bad John") You ought to be ashamed of yourself, "ugly rascal" ;OD, it's not serious John,tut...tut, holŕlŕ. Excellent focus of you and this man ^_°
I waits now in another form of the beautiful sights of your Spanish stay.
Kiss
Corinne who laughs with your humour.

He he he . . Very normal for both the man and yourself . . having the same interest . .
You should be honored to get critique from Linda and Corinne, at least they treat you like a boy . . he he . .
I like the composition and at the right moment captured the man's expression . .
Hope that man does not file complain to you . .

De man op de bank heeft ook een fotografisch oog!met als de fotograaf zelf!

Welcome back Johnny and man this is a laugh.
Good choice to put the man ato the side of the photo, gives a idea of: Looking and hiding in same time. Great and funny action . ( hope you had a great time in Spain )
Groet
Rob

PS
John I know you are busy, but to understand Hamperium's reaction a little better
see this discussion I had with our friend

Ja lachen - die uitdrukking is duidelijk af te lezen - nou ja John, als de jongens zich maar vermaken.
Lekker gehad in Spanje - aan de foto te zien was het heerlijk weer.
Groetjes
Els

Hi John,
Who doesn't like this view? I do and well framed. I can see that the man on the bench also like the POV :-) TFS
Regards
Flemming

Hello bro! Great to see you back! And hihi, this is a well shaped lady and the man seems very happy of the sight hapening to him :)))

Well shot, good action and decisive moment. You have to be quick with your cam :))

Take care, sis!

LOL!!!! That's sure to get some comments :-).
Excellent capture. Good sharpness and details.
And the look of the gentleman is priceless :-).

Hi John,
I hope You had a great vacation in Spain.
From back she's wonderful, so I can create my own story. :) Beautiful POV, nice colours, although You shouldn't have cropped the half of the guy. Otherwise nice photo, tfs. Regards, László

You bad bad boy Johnnie!! When will I get to see some Male Eye-candy from you!! HAHAHA!...although this is very nice and I love the man watching her...you still are a very bad boy!

Hi John, sitting man is very interesting to see yoi when take photo? May be but I thitnk that he look to this wonderful lady, splendid view in Nerja, I like a lot, very well done, ciao Silvio

nice shot......tfs

Hi Johnny
I realy had fun reading this.
May I say you catched a golden moment?
And yes, everybody reacts to what her-his mind
processes :-)
Hugs to you both from India
Vandana
ps

Sad how some people can be childish after reading Rob's note and link.

Hi John,

Well, the behaviour of some of our fellow TL members is becoming clear in their reactions...
I'll focus on the technical aspects of the shot, since that seems to be a daring thing to do in this case! Well, not many did up to now. I have to agree with Marco that the composition is too cropped. I can handle it at the feet, but at the hair and especially at the man in the distance it's not the best compo. I'm also wondering why her hair is so soft with f/9.0. But well, you can explain that one being the photographer ;-).

Greetz,
Dennis

NB: Reading the reactions, I'd advise some people to start working on a real life next to their TL existence hahaha ;-).

Hello JT. Nothing wrong with this in my opinion, you saw the opportunity and you took it...there are far more images on TL where the 'behaviour' is questionable. Well captured. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘City Park VIII’. No snail mail as yet but the postal service to Tasmania may be relying upon the next sailing of Abel Tasman.

Een heerlijk gebeuren John
Heb ook genoten van het 2e verhaal, inderdaad iedereen geeft een reactie zoals hij-zij het zelf voelt
Moie meid zo van achter :-)
Doei
Joos

ps
(ook dat verhaal van Rob, deze man wil er gewoon niet aan dat er misschien iets niet klopt met zijn foto's )

Hello John,
A lovely lady indeed!
But you're all wrong... the guy is not looking at her but at the photograper, and tries to look his best in the image!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi John,

I see you were alert and with the camera ready to capture the moment!lol!! Funny shot and great expression of the man on the bench.
TFS,
Vassilis

HI John, Good clear photograph of a situation which deserves all the analysis provided above. Fortunately there are things which make the world go around, and you captured one of them here. Good for TL. TFS. Murray.
