Mmm, is that so, or did he copy it from a photo? Well, just being sceptical. Anyway, great shot, and well found PoV to include Micky like that.

Maciej, this is a clear sharp colorful shot of a moment.
The model is so serious .. ..
Keeping only the hand of the artist within the frame is a nice idea and ends up in a beautiful composition.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Maciej.
The artist in action. I like the framing with this single hand and this second paint at right.
Nice quality and colors.

Nice composition and nice photo. Nice capture of the artist making portrait of the girl and Mr. Rourke on the wall.

Great title, like it or not, Mickey dominates the scene, doesn't he, smiling wrily at us...I like the cropped hand of the artist, and the dpth and overall clarity. Good stuff! Cheers, Francis

Hi Maciej,
nice picture, I like your composition with Mickey which seems to look the artist !
I like to see just his hand.
Well done

RGatward,

heh, I think you may be right. Ive seen artists like that all over Europe showing the famous people they made portraits for. I bet he copied it from a magazine.

Macieju, masz niezly talent. Powiedz jak ty wypatrujesz takie ciekawe sytuacje?

Beautiful, Maciej
very nice angle and composition, the girl between the paintings.
I love it

I'm gonna be picky. I wish you waited for a moment (and it's gonna come, trust me) when the girl turns her head to the exact same position as the one the guy is drawing...or perhaps you could have moved over a few steps and done it on your own. If the girls real life head position matched that of the drawing itself, the shot would thus become much stronger and it would also be easier for us, the viewers, to connect with the subject (I'm guessing the girl is the subject here). Right now, the only thing that I see is the ugly mug of Mickey R. and that ain't a pretty sight. Anyway, I like the compo, nice division into three parts, but you being you I know you can do better. ;-)

Nice picture! Great composition and POV. It must be ment ironicly that Mickey Rourke was there when he had his best time. N.

eleparc (24063) 2005-06-03 13:53

Composition and point of view here is really good. You are exactly know where is the best place to shot. Perfect sharpnes and captured. Mickey Rourke, girl, drawing, hand with ring have a right order and that all create beautiful view. good luck

Hi Maciej,

Hi Maciej,

What a good idea to include the other portrait. I also enjoy to take picture of these painting scenes. The Karls Bridge at Prague is a good place too. You also did well to frame just the hand of the painter. Keep well - Izzet

I think I'll spend all night checking out your gallery, mesmerizing over all of your photos so I'll just put you in my favorites and keep checking back.
Here is another great documentation of a not-so-happy little girl contradictory of a sneaky-eyed guy who once said, "I always knew I'd accomplish something very special - like robbing a bank perhaps."

Great shot. Excellent exposure and sharpness.

Hey Maciej,
this is a bit like Micky Rourke is enjoying the portraite of the girl as would a father looking on at his little princess. A good interaction here. Do you really believe that Rourke had his done here. He didn't have any of Elvis as well did he? ha ha
Regards
Mark
