Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thank all of you for your comments. I really appreciate them. This shot was taken from the perspective of my trike (which is a recumbant 3 wheel bike). My trike allows me to ride along and take shots from a very low angle.

Ruth Palmer, 10 months ago

This is really cool Derid! What’s “the big city”?
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thank so much for the comments on this. The “big” city is Portland Oregon, largest city in Oregon (somewhere around a million people). Since I come from St Paul Oregon (pop 313) it doesn’t take much to make a city look big.
shanghaiwu, 10 months ago

derid

tonilouise, 10 months ago

this is a wonderful shot.
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thanks all. I know that many of you are coming up on summer, as we are in the process of coming up on fall.
Dennis Gay IPA, 10 months ago

G’day derid,

There is something very dream-like about this fine photograph. “Those hazy, lazy, crazy days of Summer” comes to mind and I sense the muffled sounds of children playing and the soft hiss of the water.
Very well seen and very well made kiddo.

fantastic shot!
shawhouse, 10 months ago

sensational image. great capture.
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thanks for the comments. Yes, a trike is a great way for a photographer to see the world. You get the same perspective as a child has. It puts you about eye level to a toddler.
Paul Tait, 10 months ago

I love the use of light – the silhouettes are amazing
Robert Elliott, 10 months ago

wonderful image derid!!
songkoking, 10 months ago

it is better to make them to canvas art
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thanks for the comments and feedback every one. I really do appreciate every single comment.
ArtAfresh, 10 months ago

What a beauty!
frogster, 10 months ago

Before I saw the bigger version and read what it was, it looked like a close up image of portion of a face, just the nose and a glint of an eye, with a shot of someone walking in the foreground, and I still can’t get thought out of my head. Thats what makes a great piece when the each viewer sees something different.
TonyLegg, 10 months ago

Stnning !!!!
Amanda Cole, 10 months ago

Amazing shot! so much energy!!!! Wow!!!
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

I am so glad people are enjoying this shot. I really appreciate your comments.
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Frogster, now that you point it out, I also see the face in the smaller version. Now I can’t get that thought out of my head:)

Brett Foster, 10 months ago

Beautiful capture derid. So much fun portrayed. Classic!
Ozcloggie, 10 months ago

What great fun!

Snort when you laugh. Smell like coconut. Resist the urge to mutilate my Boy George doll. Stop to pat each and every cat you see. Eat with your fingers. Never wear pink. Respect my appreciation for silence. Know when the moon is full. Don’t pretend you can’t remember any Spandau Ballet lyrics. And if waking me up, remember to stand at a safe distance.

Is that too much to ask?

Nee hoor! Hier gaat ‘ie dan. Wat moet ik zeggen? Ik hou van katten. Ik kijk graag naar een volle maan….........
Mugsy, 10 months ago

Beautiful capture!
Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Thanks so much everyone, I am humbled by the response to this.
Roseann, 10 months ago

Wow! The lighting on this is simply perfect! Nice job!
Mike Rees, 10 months ago

Beautiful shot! I love everything about this. Even though it’s a simple enough composition, there seems to be much more to this scene than meets the eye. Great work.
lucid1111, 10 months ago

The central character seems like a warlock or some kind of magical being casting a spell or controlling the elements. Its so powerful. The lighting in this shot is beautiful. :)
Per Einar Gunn..., 10 months ago

Alvin de Quincey, 9 months ago

Hi derid, just dropped by to take a peek. You’ve got a couple of nice ones here too. I do like this. It’s all been said before, but it does have an energy of it’s own doesn’t it. A real money shot, should be on a wall or a mag cover!
Great capture.

Terri Rose, 6 months ago

Looks like fun =).
Great capture, perfect!
Martie Venter, 6 months ago

Love the vivacity and exuberance of this shot – awesome capture of the moment!
Deri Dority, 6 months ago

Thanks so much for the comments everyone. The fountain is unusual in that it sprays out finer jets of water than most fountains. It is an integral part of Portland’s summers.
