kyle_davies 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Interested in comments on crop (uncropped version also available) and the addition of noise. Thanks Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 25, 2002 The B&W/"Grainy" combination works well for me. Your lady does her thing for the camera w/ATTITUDE! Nothing studied or contrived in what she puts out here.Style...It's a clean shot and the hair placement adds a sensual kind of bedroom look. You should feel good about strutting this pic out and if it were mine I wouldn't give a sh** what anybody else thought of it, Right!?! Drop the uncut version my way if you like...might be interesting. Link to comment
hkbmac 0 Posted July 25, 2002 The tight crop totally works. Very strong image. Great work and great model. Link to comment
hinke gerla - leipoldt 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Hi, it looks very nice. Saw the original picture and I think the cropped version says much more. I also find something romantic in this picture. I do think the added noise helped to create this feeling. Link to comment
daniele_mealli 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Good image, very good work. Scausa per l'inglese ma scrivo solo poche parole, La fotografia si presenta molto bene il taglio in diagonale è ben proporzionato, la luce con la grana della pellicola è piacevole è ben proporzionata. Veramente un buon Lavoro, Complimenti !!!!! Link to comment
stuart_bender 0 Posted July 25, 2002 This would really "sing" to me, except the lighting ( lack of ... ) completely destroys it for me. Your lighting takes out all the punch! Link to comment
mg 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Nothing really happens in this picture, in fact... We can imagine what's happening, but we can't tell for sure, and in the end, it doesn't really catch my interest. Aesthetically, I think the grain was a good choice, but a lot less light would at least have helped to enhance the mystery. As it is, nothing is really enhanced, and we are left looking for a clue.

mgvaughan.com 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Cropped version is better. Noise could be turned down a little. Nice shot- Link to comment
harry_akiyoshi 0 Posted July 25, 2002 The cropped version is far better than the original. The implicit motion is terrific--it's just a very engaging image. Link to comment
bgelfand 1,260 Posted July 25, 2002 THe crop is very nice, but I think the false grain detracts from the picture. Link to comment
secondsight 0 Posted July 26, 2002 Comments of a lack of lighting and artificial grain confuse me. The lighting is great and exists in a beautifully textured way. And as fgar as I know, grain is grain, you just can't fake it. Sure you can do it digitally or with film, but either way, it's still grain. Why does it matter how the grain was applied? If the overall image works then why worry about the details? I think this shot is more powerful than the uncropped version but then I'm a big fan of tight, in-your-face shots. I love the stuff you've posted so far, keep up the good work! See you... Link to comment
bleck 0 Posted July 31, 2002 I'm a little curious as to how you got all that grain out of a Pan F neg. Either this is a very small crop, or you overcooked it in Rodinol. Though all the Pan F I've ever dev'd in Rodinol was nowhere near this grainy. Link to comment
kyle_davies 0 Posted July 31, 2002 Grant- The grain is a result of a little Photoshop loving. The original picture has the lack of grain that you would expect from Pan F. By the way, thank you everybody for your comments, even those of you that didnt like it. It really does help. Link to comment
havanai 0 Posted August 17, 2002 This is great. Lighting is fine, graininess is good. Great vigor and emotion in the model's position and expression. The cropped version is definitely the better of the two. Nicely done! Link to comment
leorossi 0 Posted January 20, 2004 I like the hair and the pose. Well-constructed shot. Works better in this cropped fashion, although I'm not a fan of artificial noise/grain. Link to comment
