A stich of two photos. The grain didn't come out as coarse on this one, though it was taken also with ISO 400/27°. Still it looks good enough for posting to me. Any comments would be very welcome.
You dodn't need any apologies at all, just take your time. As we all know, the maximum of communication efficiency is the minimum if communication speed! (And mathematicians never change! ;-))
Thanks a lot for the nice in depth going comment, which coinsides absolutely with my own impression of the image. It could include the tops of the buildings on the other side, provided this wouldn't diminish the importance of the students sitting in line, which I think we can safely assume.
The cut at the top was the result of the perspectivic stich of the two images. A pity indeed that the buildings had to be sacrificed for a strong sense of depth. I think I'll retry this one some day.
I apologise for the delays. apart for many obligations i wore up myself with, there is a crazy sun over my head that is killing all the creative cells in my brain. ;) on the other hand i see you have posted so many pics-
anyway, i see here a strong relation of elements here all implying to life- the students sitting on the cold ground all close to each other, and a river (with swans and other birds) that never sleeps- and, the most striking and important part of it (for me) is the bridge that gives a further dimension to it.
regarding the composition i would only wish to see a bit of more sky or tops of the buldings in the background-
p.s. those hot rays in the building on the right stand beautifully in contrast with the rest of the tones- and i find them of much importance!
