Antonio, just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to impose any

of my ideas here. What I've yakked away is, as Tim Gee said, one

man's opinion. Since you and Silvia like the photo, then it's a

great photograph! Thanks for sharing it and using it to generate a

lively discussion.

Hoyin - your statement "Besides, great photographers are always

sensitive to their subjects, giving them beauty and dignity instead of

revealing their worst or distorting who they are" does in fact not

sound like 'one mans opinion'. "great photographers are always

sensitive' leaves little room for anyone elses opinion (IMO). As well

you are talking about subjectives here. Who give you the right to

dictate what myself, my subject, or anyone else thinks is flattering.

If the subject in the above photos is happy with it, because it

portrays a part of her in some way she is pleased with, than that is

the end of the story. You please your subjects, let others please

theirs...

Hi, Antonio !

 

<p>

 

Great shot IMHO.

However I would have given my preference (by far !) to Nbr.5 in your

portfolio if the shapes in the background were less distracting. But

being things the way they are, yes the image you posted is my

preferred selection though under protest.

Funny how vastly different our opinions can be regarding the same

subject, isn't it ? And please be aware that nobody told you to go

somewhere else with your not-Leica photo. There must be something to

it, definitely.

Regards, Antonio, and thanks for sharing.
