A little different from my usual abstracts or landscapes. Taken in the Met Museum in New York.

Brilliant! Great stories here.
-
+1. As Terry says "brilliant".
-
Well done… I like to see people taking photos, especially in a museum!
-
Thanks, Terry and Bob.
The moral is, as another thread suggests, always have a camera with you, even if it is a pocket one.

Nice!
I especially like the first one due to the position of her legs and the way her hat interacts with the painting.
The second is good, but has a bit less interplay between the different parts of the image.
-
The first one's priceless. See, Eric, street photography is fun.
-
Eric,
The first one is a beauty, and in a strange way Magritte-esque.
-
Thanks, everybody!
And Russ: Yes, "Street" (or even "Museum") is fun, but I find it much more difficult on the actual street (Yes, I've tried, but I won't show my attempts). In a museum you can get people from behind and the shots can still be interesting.
In the second one, I wish I had been standing (I was sitting on another bench), so that Rembrandt would show more clearly.
Yes, Russ: I should have cropped better in the camera! ;)

Museum is as interesting as street. Here's one from impossibly long ago.
-
Nice, Russ. But weren't you just a bit tempted to crop out the mom on the right? ;)
-
Love them, especially the first one.
The only small caveat is a slight lack of balance btw her hat and the tree. Positioning her head a bit more to the left in the painting would have worked even better. ;)
Cheers,
Bernars

I was tempted, but I successfully resisted the temptation. Actually, I wish I'd pulled the frame a bit to the right to show that there was other action going on while this act of love was being carried out.

Thanks, Bernard. I agree. And next time I see her I'll do what you suggest. ;)

I agree. And I wish I'd positioned myself a bit differently for both of mine. But I'm learning (I hope).

She may find your image online and propose a re-shoot! :)

Vincent and Rembrandt. Great photos, Eric.
-
Thanks, Bob.
I wish I could take credit for the paintings. ;)
