nice one!

Nice work! Sensual model and attitude. Well captured and good post work.

I like it so much, very expresive, light, her expression, crop, all is perfect here. A wonderful work. very fashionable. 7/7 Maurizio

Wonderful shot... though you "dodged" and over sharpened the eyes a bit too much.

 

Regards, Andi.

Andrei, that's 6x7 film. I guess you belive it's overdodged/oversharpened because you're only used to messy flat digital files :-)

I feel a bit patronized, but it's OK...

 

I read your details, therefore I've seen what gear you used.

 

If you look through my gallery you will notice that I am not unfamiliar to shooting on film, even thought I don't shoot large format as you... I can still appreciate grain and overall film characteristics/aesthetics .

 

Also, I would have not taken the liberty to comment unless I would have seen the original which you posted here: http://view.stern.de/fc/picture/559087 ... an original that doesn't seem to be over sharpened or over dodged anywhere.

 

Regards, Andi.

Andrei,

 

The pic is scanned on a Hasselblad/Imacon 949 "drum" scanner and contains 6475x8633 Pixel (55,8 Megapixel). The picture I uploaded here is 600x800. So that's roughly 0.86 % (zero point eight six per cent!) of the entire capture. And on the view.stern.de page you can only see the picture in a (again reduced resolution probably closer to 450x600) if you're not a member.

 

It's not really possible to appreciate and judge the sharpness of such a pic unless it's printed huge (in my opinion). Add to it that it was twice reduced in size... which kinda makes it pointless to argue.

 

The pictures should be pretty much at the same sharpness level as I'm saving them with an action that applies the USM settings.

 

What you're seing in the eyes is the added contrast (paint with light).

 

Cheers,

Boris

I know what you mean, I've seen a couple of resized 6x6 scans from a Nikon 8000ED at roughly 46 MP.

 

Even if you shoot on 35mm and you scan it at lets say... 12 MP... if you resize it.. it still looks as if softened!

 

Keep shooting, milady!
