[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After a break in posting due to holidays abroad i was very happy to read in the forum that this Frida Theme had to do with a photographic subject that i like : Photographer in action. I wish to present you my humble contribution to the Theme with this picture taken in the last days of a visit to the Sentosa island in Singapore. Nowadays Sentosa is a place that 's so alive with construction sites particularly along its northern shore facing the city proper, not a most beautiful sight but hey this is Singapore , so much is going on here, i was amazed ! Yet , on the island of Sentosa there are superb gardens and quite good beaches and different attractions , Disney-type i 'd say .This photo was taken in a quiet part of some terraced gardens by the new Merlion , a sizeable Mermaid-lion identical to the smaller one near the river which i believe is the symbol of Singapore, anyway i caught this woman aiming at one of the numerous statues strewn about the island . Since i like to snap away in as candidly as possible at photographers actually taking pictures , i thought it would be suitable for the Theme . Thanks for looking,
Iso 80 , 1/30 , yes a low shutter speed at f/8 indeed , gladly the lady did take enough time to get her own photo so i could cope with my own , he he , did not have the time to re-set to a higher speed on this overcast day and late hour of the day , raised exposure, sharpened,
Carol

Hey there friend!! Let me be the first to welcome you back! I wondered how long it would be till we saw you again.
Good that you could enter the theme of the week. Good candid shot of this odd statue, and the woman shooting it! Good vibrant colors. Maybe leaning juuuust a little bit to the right?
Anyway, welcome back Carol:)

Hi Carol,
This is a fine contribution as well for this week's Friday Theme, these statues are quite funny and interesting and you captured the action of the photographer well. I like the refreshing green tones of the image, it fits well to the clothes of the lady. :) Sharp, bright and clear exposition, well done! TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

Bonjour Carol,

Belle contribution pour le theme. Bien exposée et bien nette. Je vois que la photographer a bien su faire prendre la pose à ses deux sujets. ;o)

Funny again :-)
I have a compo " but " :
I would cut some part on the left and maybe a bit on right.
Less " overview ".
Hope I making sense :-)

Bonjour Carol
Aurais-tu changé la couleur de la robe pour l'assortir à celle du décor?!!
Autre hazard impressionnant; la couleur des taches sur les vaches et du rond fleuri derrière!!
Image bien sympathique et pleine de fraîcheur.
Au revoir.
Robert
