Thanks for viewing

Dave I visited your portfolio before I made a comment on this, I think that the angels and the cropping of this image is not one of your best I have seen in your portfolio.

 

Just a thought to consider.

 

Kind regards

Rob,

Thank you for visiting my portfolio and for taking your time to comment on this one. Cropping and angle - maybe, maybe not. After perusing the random image generator for a while, I kept seeing very nice examples of negative space and thought, why not ? There is really a lot more image on the original than what I chose to use. I really do appreciate your viewpoint and plan on doing more with negative space. I am trying to break my 40 year-old style of only composing in the viewfinder.

I have taken a look at your portfolio and admire many of your fabulous images.

Warmest regards,

David R. Lewis

Hmm, the window isn't straight .. is that a mistale? No my friend, there are no rules, no mistakes in photography, only good photos as Ansel Adams rightly said, and this most certainly is one .. :-) .. love the composition exactly as is and expression of the model too, bravo.

John,

Thank you. I regard any positive comment from you as an honour. The window was built straight and level, but after fourty years of trying to make sure every line is straight and level, there are times when that might not be so important. I still try to place major emphasis on the basics of good portraiture: proper exposure, natural body position, composition, and most important of all, expression. It works every time.

Warmest regards,

David R. Lewis
