Hello Serghei,
A recipe for a cold bottom:-) The lion looks out very seriously whilst the woman concentrates on her phone. Very funny daily life composition nicely presented; I like it.

Hello Serghei,
You bring us another well timed photo of daily life. This kind of observation, of people busy with their phones, is hard to avoid these days, but the position of this woman beside the stone lion makes it a funnier than average phone photo. The snow covering the stones makes it graphically nice, and I like the dominance of grey tones.Only the woman's scarf, her hands and face provide any colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Serghei
Good every-day scene from the cell phone epoque.
The lady's good - but the lion is fantastic. I'm surprised you can hold the camera steady .... a pair of eyes watching you like that; it can make anybody nervous.
The photo's good also for the lack of colors -just the scarf of the lady. Nothing else.
Super shot.
Cheers Frank

Hi Serghei,
Yes you're right. people are missing the simple joys of everyday life by loosing them into the artificial world...
Nice shot.

Hello Serghei,
a very nice snapshot with the hooked on woman to sit on the snow watching her smart phone.The statue looks to protect her from the intrusive glances.

Regards,Danos

Hi Serghei!

A funny daily life scene. Lion磗 face like "Oooops!"
Surely a real lion could make same effect at the woman...nothing. Except if she wants to get warmer and starts running!! ;)

Best regards.

Hi Serghei
The lady on the phone is a common scene, but the lion is not, a brilliant idea to capture the lion face on like this, he almost looks as if he is looking at you in shock at the fact that the woman is paying him no attention. I don't often laugh at the expression of a lion, but this one is perfect. I think without the woman in the scene, I would not notice, but your clever composition has drawn my eye to it. Very nice :)
Best wishes
Noel

Bonjour Serghei,

J'aime beaucoup le titre.L'image raconte une histoire. La position de la dame au t閘閜hone semble des plus inconfortable et froid pour les fesses.

Amicalement

Hello Serghei,

It looks very cold, and it's not the best place to sit and concentrate, but it is a powerful and comic commentary on our times. Ignore everything except what appears on the small screen. The lion must be wondering! I am putting it among the photos of Mobile Phones. Have a good Sunday.

Hi Serghei!
This is just great! We can find similar scenes everywhere but I guess it's the first time I see someone so concentrated on the cell phone without even noticing the snow falling. I like the composition with the lion and the snow flakes really add a lot!

Hello Serghei,
Nice wintery capture from Sinai; really a very common scenery from today. I ask myself how better the life was without those handy's !
Very good pov and layout.
TFS and have a nice week ahead.

cell phones are a plague, even in the poorest places, some people stop to do other things to use this.
