This is the final shot I'll be putting up of Transe Express. Unlike the previous three, which were taken during their parade around town, this one was taken as they rehearsed for their aerial display, Mobile Homme. I'm not entirely delighted with how this one turned out, but I did think it was worth putting up.

Wonderful colour and great silhouette - they almost look like cuts outs rather than real people.

Well it sure gets you wondering. The series has only been a small insight from a visual perspecitve, but you have definitely shown off the mood there. It has kept me, like others I am sure, coming back each day to see more.

I think it works; the color adds to the surreal nature of their act.

I have never seen better use of silhouettes in any photo earlier. It's a very heavy mood, a very strange act and an equally strange atmosphere.

Very creative, I like the coloring.

i think this is a great image. the color really makes its somewhat sureal. the angles really make your eye move around the shot. really quite lovely.

Great picture, you always make the best choices for light and framing !

what an absolutely astonishing photography... lovely tones, and great composition. nice.

I find this shot disturbing--like they've been hanged! That lilac tone is wonderful. Fantastic series.

I love it. How bizzare.

After looking at this picture for several minutes I'm wondering what it could be that you are not delighted about, David? I think it's flawless: wonderful tones, perfect composition, interesting subject. What do you want more?

Don't be so hard on yourself...! This is a fantastic shot in my humble opinion. The spacing of the silouhettes is just great! I hope these guys are buying your prints ;-)

This last series has been the best stuff for a while on your site in my opinion. This is by far my fav so far.

comment by Toxic Lens at 08:12 PM (GMT) on 3 June, 2007

Hmm... I find this image a little disturbing, but a lot of fun! Nice choice of color too.

Thanks all :-)

comment by lisa at 02:09 AM (GMT) on 4 June, 2007

the colours and tones here... this photo creeps me out soo much. nice work.

Great serie of the Transe Express. This is brillant with this angle. The silhouettes works well.

comment by navin at 09:35 AM (GMT) on 4 June, 2007

Great shot. The whole set up looks very scary to me.

comment by thomas mueller at 09:37 AM (GMT) on 4 June, 2007

strange scenery, but it works very well. wonderful done!

comment by Peter F at 04:12 PM (GMT) on 4 June, 2007

I quite like it -- I think it's even cooler when you don't know the story... you can make your own.

comment by Alice at 05:30 PM (GMT) on 4 June, 2007

What a bizarre shot. I really like this. Well done!
