Gentlemen...

Quite simply-This is an absolutely Brilliant image, just outstanding!

What a brilliant documentary! it is a bit like Cartier Bresson, just love it Deborah, well done!

Love this one Debs. Think I should do some more B/W.

Wow – what an awesome find, beautifully captured!

WOW talk about catching a quick opportunity and making the most of it…it turned out great as usual…love it!!!!!

great narrative to this image….all the elements work to construct a great image

Great composition and balance

awesome work really love it well done

Excellent picture!!!

Well spotted Deborah! I’m just wondering who or what she was hoping to photograph coming out the gents…

Its always a pleasure to view your work, nicely taken.

Well spotted Deb! Love your styling and tones! :D

GREAT Shot!

Love this

Excellent eye Deb to catch that shadow…it really makes that picture stand out…very interesting study of the woman outside the gents Bathroom….perfect lighting again

Some people would say B&W photography is just a treatment of a color capture. It is much more than that. I think if someone asked how so I would point them to your work.

fantastic shot

She seems to have her focus….I wonder if thats a macro lens? Love the shadow of the lampost. Well observed shot Debs.

The lady with the camera makes this shot, so much of a story being told for a single image and the shadow is just divine

excellent. so much going on. where to start?

Fascinating shot, Deborah!
Love the shadow of the lamp!

great capture, interesting scene

Very cool shot – my eyes pretty much moved around the image the same way yours did : Gentlemen, Lady, Shadow. Nice!

This one made me chuckle! Well seen.

love the lighting!

Super !!

brilliant Deb, your work is always so interesting, such an eye for an opportunity, is she waiting for someone or just hoping lol, love the shadow

One of my fave of yours… The composition is just perfect (woman + lamp shadow), and the Gentlemen sign in the middle adds a funny twist. Really like your street photography, and I bet Abe and Fleur are more than happy to have a break from their paparazzi mum!! ;))

As always the tones are lovely

I was going to say, that the most interesting part to me is
the lamp post, and then read your description. It really stands
out, doesn’t it? Even up against a loitering (and somewhat questionable)
woman snapping photos (is she?) around the men’s room. (yikes..)
Plenty to talk about here....heheh. Beautiful control with the lighting
and tones; masterful work. It seriously looks like a staged studio shot..
so yeah…bravo!

And somewhere, there may be someone who took a picture of you taking a picture of the gents loo. What goes around comes around! Did you think of that Deb?

That aside, great candid shot. Makes you wonder if there’s something else other than the lampost offscreen (maybe another photographer).

The light is brilliant with the shadow across the majority of the wall but illuminating the lampost over to the right.

The textures in the brickwork are fantastic and it’s a great capture of an old toilet (the kind you would only use if desperate as they are old)

Beautiful work. It plays a funny mindgame with me. The word ‘gentlemen’ is featured so prominently that my mind wants to think the picture is about men. But there is no man in the image. It is not about men at all. It is about a woman and a lampost and a beautiful alcove with a mosaic of tiles. I absolutely lóve pictures that say they are about men but are in fact about women and lamposts. There is a sense of humour in this image that makes me think of Magritte. (Ceci n’est pas une pipe.) Beautiful piece of art, Deborah.

I think this for me is one of your best yet, and that is saying something brilliant work Deborah

This is awesome, The shadow of the lamp post is so cool, beautiful work Deborah :)

MAN you got a good eye. You capture the moment and mood as a Fine Art. She is not shooting the lampost, it’s something beyond, something not visible to us.

This is just fabulous, Deb, well seen!!!!!

Well spotted Deb – love the tones and treatment

love the shadow! nice capture.

Gosh, not one but TWO women lurking around a men’s public dunny taking photos…what IS the world coming to?? There’s such a comic element this this Deb that it really makes me smile…great capture!

Love love LOVE the shadow of the lamp Deb… that image alone would make a fantastic capture!

fantastic,,, love it

its the “glow” in your work that gives it that stunning DP signature – this one is a gem!

What a great find, Deb. As usual, you have done a terrific job with the textures of this shot. The bricks look fabulous and the ones over the door really do pop out. That shadow is positioned perfectly and the woman with the camera just tops off a terrific capture. I hope the lady was taking a picture of the shadow too…lol

Nice.

Love the character with the camera, could be any of us focusing on our little worlds. The lighting draws me in,.....(maybe because I need to go), lol, Very unique and entertaining art Deb.

superb street capture. the light and dark are in perfect balance. that shadow of the lamp is a corker of a compositional dynamic to the woman on the left. bravo.

great portfolio, love your work!!!

You cut her right ,fantastic shot.

a wonderful capture! there are a number of tiny worlds in it. i’m sure that other woman’s picture was probably good, but i like all the life in this one! :)

really love this shot and the shadow of the lampost is amazing :)

very nice shot

awesome work Deb

The most simple things do make the best subjects. Nice work Deb.

This is awesome Deb that shadow of the lamp is brilliant. Wonderfully done

Wow! This is fantastic Deb.. sorry for coming to this late.. trying to catch up now.. I love this.. and yes, the shadow definately makes this a fantastic shot.. Not sure if anyone else has said this yet, but to me it loks very sinister.. very Hitchcock! So many stories can be taken from this or made.. this is what I love about your work! An instant favourite – this one has so much!

You have such a great feel for the way light and shadow interact – beautifully captured!

I love the shadow and the feel to this image. Great work Deb!

LOVE YOUR STYLE GOOD SHOT THEY ALL ARE!!!!!

Another really great shot. You definitely see everything in the frame and get it all just right.

its fantastic !

WOW.. yes WOW – great capture.. it has a kind of eerie feel .. like it a lot..

Got a lot of love for this one Deb, like what you’ve done here.

great shadows. Love it

Superb capture of light and shaddows, as well as a great candid.

great atmosphere in this shot – love the old writing on the toilet, and the shadow of the light is a fantastic addition… great catch!

Your “eye” is fabulous. Your work fenomenal. You’re a talent. Congratulations.

Beautiful words? Beautiful is your talent.

Utterly captivating, like so much of your work.

Thank you.

Very well done.. love the tones and the composition.

Jiminy Christmas! It took me three minutes just to scroll down to the comment window! LOL! What sets this composition is apart, for me; is your use of thirds vertically. The girl, the door, and the lamp-post shadow. The other subtlety is the contrast from left to right with the bright tones of her coat balancing the lighter right side; and then the reverse, from right to left, with the lamp-post shadow balancing the dark shadows of the left side. This is superbly composed, Deb; as usual. I find your black and white work very compelling and incredibly inspirational. Keep up the good work! Finally, another observation I’d like to make is that you don’t post a lot of fluff. None of your work, in any way, shape, or form, can be considered to be mediocre in the slightest. Your attention to quality is to be commended! Cheers! Chris

Love the lighting great work

Very nicely exposed! Love the lampost shadow on the right.

iconic!

so good is all that’s needs to be said

Awesome bw! Love your toanla range and shadows. Nice work!

Another great image Deb!
