Hello dear friends,

This is my belate entry for the Friday's Emotion Theme.
This young woman doesn't seem to know or not to want know how she provokes emotions with the boys in her wake!
We can see that the power of seduction's effects begins early in life! :)

I have taken this photo last year, in the old La Habana at Cuba. This was at the mid of a spendid day under a strong light.

Technically, this is a Raw photo converted in JPG.
With PS CS3, I made a B&W conversion and played with red, cyan and yellow.

Thank you for passing by and commenting!
Have a nice weekend!

PS/ Please, who can tell me why I don't able to select Cuba in the upload page?

Hello Annie
This photo is full of emotions and poetry; you've captured very well the first and innocent impressions of male reaction to female seduction; the girl has a great elegance in her walk and the boys different way of look was very well captured. Superb sharpness and a wonderful and moody b/w presentation adding a great poetry to this image. A pleasure to see your great photos in b/w. Have a great we my friend, mb

Hello Annie

Perfect timing and excellent lighting and contrast!
Congratulations and TFS

Hello Annie,
A real provocative capture!
A follow-the-leader game!
A nice story depicting the natural attraction of a boy towards a sexy dressed girl!
Excellent B&W presentation in a neat elegant frame.
Well done

Oh! Oh! Annie,
Y aurait-il un brin de moquerie envers la gent masculine?
C'est une très belle image, évocatrice d'une réalité, mais présentée avec un brin d'humour.
Bravo.

Hi Annie,

Well, boys will be boys. Excellent contribution to the theme with this well-seen capture. Very sharp and it works well in B&W.

TFS,
Werner

Wonderful contribution to the theme, Annie.
It looks SO good in B&W, superb detail and tones and a great catch of the expressions and attention of these young boys. Perfect! :)) Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

WOW! Very RACY Annie! You show a different side of you! HAHA! This is wonderful, yes, seduction! A natural emotion! The BW works incredibly well here! It keeps the focus on the meaning, rather than the people! Good job on this!

very smart, extremely effective and provocative... *Typical* :) what attrats me the most is the height of this young lady in comparison with the boys, her perfect confident straight Posture, the different expressions and moods, the B/W that creates an effect of past and memories and a lot to say in general...and in particular... I like it and I like it a lot... very suggestive idea presented perfectly for the theme and en general...
tripple stars and greetings Annie:)

Bonsoir Annie,
Belle photo en N&B plein d'humour et d'émotions que seul la femme peut nous donner. Beau travail superbe luminositée et le cadrage est splendide.

Gaston

Oh dear this made me chuckle Annie. This looks like a scene from my high school days, and I would be that first boy on the row. The impact of extra testosterone in young men is well depicted. I do like the regal pose of the tall young girl, the center of attention. No complains here, just admiration. Regards.

jan

bonjour annie,
this is indeed a nice shot - I don't think anyone can forget those first moments in our lives when our senses start to awake something in us and in the others...
the look on the boys' faces speak books.
you are a good observer =)
PS: to 1/8 sec. it's still rather sharp!
cris

À la longueur de sa jupe Annie il n'est point surprenant que ces jeunes garçons soient disons 'distraits 'et tu as capturé la scène au bon moment , quelle observation de ta part !Candide ! Bien croqué et hunouristique à la fois !
Tu n'as toujours pas pu changer la provenance de ta photo ,je crois que ce n'est pas possible , si tu y arrives laisses-le moi savoir , j'aimerais aussi comprendre , tu peux changer la province , l'état mais le pays je ne vois pas,
Merci pour cette belle anecdote de ton voyage à Cuba , c'est délicieux !
Carol

Annie, it's fantastic shot! You perfectly captured this interesting moment. Great contrubution to Friday theme. I like B&W tones in this photo.
Best regards, Ewa

Bonjour Annie.
J’aime beaucoup l’expression des garçons et le regard qui reste sans équivoque.
Le passage au N&B est aussi bien adapté à cette belle image.
Magnifique image instantanée.
Bonne journée.

Ciao Annie, congratulations for yoour splendid 200th post on TL, fantastic BW composition with lovely scene, I like a lot, brava, ciao Silvio

Dear Annie
This is a "delicious" portrait of men and women behaviour. The scene is so well captured and so truth. The "vamp" and her slaves. Right posture...it´s a perfect frame of a film. Delicious life flavour...pure emotion. Love it.
Um abraço

hello Annie,
I always enjoy these kind of candid shots and try to take them myself when I can. This is kind of cute. An excellent moment and emotion captured.
About not finding Cuba...I don't know the reason why it is not listed but it is possible to place request to admin to include it. When I first joined TL & TE the region where I live in Scotland was not listed and so I asked for it to be included and is was. I am sure Cuba will be included on TE but perhaps you are the first to post anything photographed in Cuba on TL? sounds unlikely but it may be the case.

hi Annie

Very interesting scene of school children and this is one of few B&W from you.

This looks like a drama play on stage to me :) because of the wall background as if a stage rear curtain. Why the crop of feet in your composition?

Nice work.

tfs, bill

Hi Annie
Interesting shot with great timing, sharp details and right choose of B/W mode.
Very attractive title, Well done
Best wishes, Alireza

The photo tells that story

Hi Annie!

Very interesting funny shot! Nice to see! :-)

Bonjour Annie ,

Bravo pour ta 200e image. Excellente observation et superbe traitement choisi pour accentuer davantage l'humour et la scène.

Du beau travail encore une fois.
Robert

An interesting submission, Annie, and I quite agree that it captures emotion well. Nothing like "la femme" to start capturing the attention of boys! :)

It's a good choice for B&W because it draws more attention to your subject without the distraction of color.

I also like the varied expressions and attitudes you've captured in this simple, single moment.

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your 200th post. I've enjoyed so many!

Cordially,
Jim

Hello Annie,

What a delightfully observant shot!
The body language of those boys speaks volumes!
I used to see such behaviour many times when I was at school!
Your shot is very engaging!
The composition, clarity and details are excellent.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Excellent street photography. Good mono conversion.

Ciao Annie. Exciting an nice idea. Great lights for an amazing BW. The title? Yes!

Hello Annie.

L’instant de la prise de vue est bien choisi, c’est exactement le genre d’image qui retient mon attention car elle exprime quelque chose.
