Car broken

Posted by DenisSm (Prague, Czech Republic) on 14 April 2009 in People & Portrait.

I feel i have to share this with you. My outdoor week was close to end, we got to go home and this happened to us....car stopped for unknown reason.
So i tried to capture broken car, Denise was sad, waiting someone who will start our car because we were late for dinner and John Lenon was screaming from radio something about Help !

If you would like to know my ideas or want to ask me anything, don`t hesitate and write me. I will try to do my the best to tell you my thoughs or to help you.

If you would like to have some of pictures i present here in printed version, feel free to write me too.

This is a perfect example of how to tell a story with an image. Fantastic work Denis !! By the way, you should consider posting this in the critique forum, so others can learn from the best !!

@Roman: Thank you Roman :-), i think this picture doens`t deserve time you would have to spend by typing critique, because i am sure it would take long time here to type so much words :-)

She definitely has the right expression for the circumstances. Nicely done.

Godo from Barcelona, Spain

Hi Denis
Great shot.
Brilliant retro-touch
Interesting work to choice the dress, necklace and shoes. It helps to recreate that old times.
Well done

The Big Guy from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

First putting a wrench in a ladies hand when the car is broke means the gentleman could get beat soundly with that wrench. Looks like Denise could have two moods, one of sadness and the other is she’s loosing patience and is about to use the wrench. Word of wisdom..”RUN!!”. Once again Denis, well done. If this is the last outdoor, it’s definitely the best.

14 Apr 2009 3:35pm

@The Big Guy: Oh yes, you talking from my soul. I agree....i`d beat that one who put wrench too her hands too, but i couldn`t as i was holding my camera.......But you`ll see today, we used other approach to get someone to start our car :-)

Srujan Chennupati from Hyderabad, United States

Wow...the expressions, the situation and the "damsel in distress" look. Everything of this picture is so beautiful and perfect. Great great shot.

Bill Jennings from Los Altos (Bay Area Calif), United States

nice composition and great model with the appropriate look on her face. The white space above her head is a place to rest your eye from all the detail - and the toning is an outstanding touch for a great image.

14 Apr 2009 8:47pm

@Bill Jennings: Thank you Bill for comment :-),
i see you using nicely calibrated screen :-).

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

A very cool image. I guess you better get a new car, Denis. :-)

15 Apr 2009 3:27am

@Steve Rice: maybe you right Steve...i should get new one, but if you`ll check on today picture, you`ll find that my old one car has nice interior that i wouldn`t like to miss :-))

Barbara from Florida, United States

Not only are you a fine photographer you are a great story teller. I hope she didn't believe all about the mechanical break down.
Regardless you took great advantage of the situation and captured the mood of the model.
I like the tone you used and having the license plate in the frame really is a nice addition.

15 Apr 2009 3:59am

@Barbara: Oh Barbara...you always make me blushing with your nice words, you know. I tell you secret. It was just a lil trick with broken car and sad Denise, because we needed to convince Katcha to relax in car as you can see on today`s post :-))

Hans from Heiligeneich, Austria
