Dear Stefan,

Your comment is more than enough. I really appreciate it. I plan to make a print A2 size. Not sure if I will print on silver paper or a more textured Hahnemuhle paper.

And I also thank @stuny for giving me feedback on many of the images I post.

Thanks to both of you.

Regards

Carl

Carl, you are correct about the grass. It really does look like film grain.

The action is very nice as you have caught a wonderful, carefree period of play between the father and his children. I think your decision to print it is a good one and will likely reinforce the strengths in the image.

I think there might be fewer comments due to this being a holiday period when people are traveling and spending time with family and perhaps not checking in to this forum as much as usual.

Their race in an arc is the perfect counterpoint to the still (obviously),
straight and angular low wall. I never would have guessed it's grass on
the ground but the ground is for sure reminescent of rodinal developped
high-iso film.

Thank you for your comment Jul. Rodinal and Tri-X were my favorite combination. Regards, Carl.

So true, this picture tells us more on the art of photography than many famous quotes - this image is stupendous, peculiar, sweet.

 

Cheers, Shlomo

Dear Shlomo, I thank you for your words and comment regarding the art of photography. Encouraging.

When I took this photo from the 5th floor of the hotel, I was subjugated by this man jumping around and dancing, his gestures imitated by the children. 

In 1970, I saw the exhibition FAMILY OF MAN, created by Edward Steichen for the Museum of Modern Art; an exhibition that inspired me greatly. As I was clicking away, trying to make sense of the movements down below, I thought of the photo (which was part of the Family of Man exhibition) of Alfred Eisenstaedt of a young man, dressed up in some sort of military uniform, one leg up, his head towards the sky, marching to the sound of an invisible band, and followed by a half dozen or so children imitating their leader.  Playing like no one was watching. Best regards. Carl.
