Looking!

Hi Marco - I like the perspective. Did you also try a version with the plate in focus and the lady in the back blurry?

No I didn't but I thought about it and I was debating since the lady was the center of the image. I will however, try the alternative.

 

Thank you for the suggestion and as always for the interest.

The woman, served? I hope not :-))

I hope not, that was Mel, and she got treated to a nice glass of wine and dinner.

 

Thanks for the visit as always.

I like the focus on the lady like this. Her posture is excellently straight.

I also thought that it offereed an interesting perspective.

 

Thanks for the comment as always.

"Pass the GIANT salt please!" Un desenfoque delicioso.

Que me dices que soy rapido, tu eres de relampago. Gracias Mauro.

Magnifica prospettiva, Marco. Incredibile come lei guarda fuori, ma il nostro occhio continua, in profondita'.

Me gusta Marco, con el enfoque tal y como esta. Ahora bien, quizas hubiera sacado mas de los ventanales, con mas luz, y menos de la parte del restaurante, mas oscura, ya que en esa parte no sucede nada...

Taken in a restaurant in Los Angeles with the camera sitting on the

table counter. I felt that the perspective was worth while.

 

Your comments and critiques are always welcome. Thank you!

This entire series is excellent. I think I like these interior scenes even better than the exterior ones. You use Mel effectively in public places. Often she could be a stranger, since she reacts to the environment rather than the camera. You 'plan' your 'accidents' very well. I agree with the commenter that linked you to Bresson. Like him, you catch the 'moment.'

Interesting perspective, Marco, your wife is quite a dish.

Excelente juego de luz en B/W. magnifica profundidad de campo,, bello encuadre, saludos cordiales Marco.

A heartfelt thank you.Paula:You are right,the eye continues in the depth of the room, and Charo is correct that in that part of the room nothing happens, so perhaps making the windows a more central part might enhance.

Charo:Thanks I think that it is a very good suggestion.

Ransford:Thanks for you compliment and yes you are right about Mel. On the other side I never seem to plan these, they just happen. Thnaks again for your kind comment.

Jack:Always indebted for your kind comments.Mel is not my wife, however, I do agree with you that she is quite a dish, literally and figuratively. Thanks as always I am flattered by your comments.

Julio:Como siempre en tu deuda.

Marco, es que mi sugerencia viene de los tiempos en los que "estudiaba" fotografia... la fotografia es luz, y eso es lo que fotografiamos (asi me decia mi teacher) ...aunque no siempre tiene que ser asi ; )

Bien de acuerdo. Fotografia es luz y sin ella no hay imagenes. Sin entenderla no hay imagenees de ningun valor, tu teacher tenia una gran razon.

Asi que como siempre gracias por tus sugerencias.

Abrazotes.

A beautiful artistic photo with excellent composition and very interesting perspective !

La foto me gusta. Pensaba si lo que no veo acertado del todo puede ser la utilizacion del 35mm. Tambien pienso que el primer plato esta algo alejado... dejando la parte inferior muy vacia. Me gusta su mirada con las ventanas... igual girando la camara a las ventanas... aunque aparecerian ventanas con mucha luz y ella casi sin luz... Con un 50mm la parte de la izquierda no apareceria tanto... o apareceria desenfocado... y con un 90mm apareceria ella frente la ventana ... tambien seria de pensar... hecha la foto con el 35 que tenias y de forma vertical seria otra posibilidad... con las lamparas... las ventanas en fuga y ella como esta. Asi y todo , me gusta mucho. La escena tiene juego. Invitala a comer al mismo sitio... que hay cosas que merecen repetirse. Verdad?

Me gusta mucho, aunque el apunte de charo me parece bueno, ademas la mujer no quedaria tan centrada. Saludos Marco

Hello Marco, I like this shot a lot, it looks like good reportage, even though she is a friend of yours. The lighting and perspective are great, I think you have produced a realy good image here.

 

Regards. Pete

La foto me encanta como esta. admito la sugerencia de Charo aunque no se muy bien si simplemente con oscurecer esa parte trasera seria suficiente para resaltar a la chica. Me temo que si cortamos por la izquierda la imagen pierda profundidad y perspectiva y es una lastima que asi sea ya que para mi es uno de los atractivos de la imagen. Besos y felices vacaciones !!

Wow! Talk about illusion. Very original Marco.

Lo sugerente para mi es que Mel esta en la linea de los platos y aparece como lo que en el ultimo se ofrece.
