Brunch with Battutah
Late musician - Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 21 January 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
The band below was already tuning up when this musician looked outside to discover how late she really was. She rushed down to take part in the Sunday street festival.
Mandy from South Africa
This is such a wonderful shot Michael - I love the composition...it really gives you a sense of how far away she was from the action and the look on her face is priceless!

She looks like a visitor from the past in the ambience of the building wall!It reminds me of a movie where the characters found themselves in other era!

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Well seen, Michael! Without your explanation one might think that people in this town would wear costumes like that all the time (and not just for special purposes)! Hope she wasn't too late :-)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Lol. Misunderstood the title at first and feared this might be a prelude to a window jumping tragedy. So glad this musician is merely late in time, and not in life. It's a wonderful photo.
21 Jan 2008 12:29pm
@Viewfinder: Thanks, VF. I can see how the title could be misleading.
Frankie from Boxmeer, Netherlands
An image with humor in it. Besides that the composition is lovely and so are the colors. Well done Michael.
