cant see that little statue take a shot of me
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 30 November 2008 in Miscellaneous.
Popped to battery Park before work one morning this week hoping for some shots of the Statue of Liberty, but alas was foggy and barely visible so Bahbahra though it was time for her to get in front of the Camera again
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Splendid idea and funny way to show the "liberty" of shooting imaginatively if elements don't let you other.

@Paco Díaz: Thanks, I was disappointed with the dreary dy, but then remembered i had Bahbahra in my back pack :)

Hey BahBahra! Too bad you couldn't see the statue that day...but you look great. The foggy atmosphere makes a nice backdrop for you.

@Laurie: Please not too many compliments for Bahbahra or her ego will get out of control LOL

The simplicity of the shot gives strong emphasis to your subject. The rock (monument?) makes a great base. Fine shot.

Great to see the adorable Bahbahra again. I can see it´s gray in NY just as here in Gothenburg.

Thats a cute shot, the colors really pop in the monochromatic landscape, great job :)

paolo from Italy
the grey backround (toward the brightness of the subject) makes me think she's going to move and talk like in a cartoon.
so lovely!

Another stunner - it's great to have her back! She looks so cold, though.

You have in Bahbahra a real model, she knows how to be held in front of the objective, and for this day, we can say that she replaced advantageously the statue so desired ;)

I was surfing through VFXY and who did I see but sweet Bahbahra that I know and love from Flickr. She makes me smile. There is no one like her.
