Ottilie posing for a photo inspired by the photo of Gretta Garbo by Clarence Sinclair Bull

This photo was taken on FP4 pushed to 200 to reduce shaddow detail.

Done in an attemtp to recreate the effects of the film used by 30s

and 40s Hollywood photographers. I'm pleased with this photo as I

managed to get it published. But I would like to know what you all

think of it

 

Inspired by "Gretta Garbo" taken by Clarence Sinclair Bull

I think this is a great photo. The expression of the model and the subtle tonality create a very nice 'mood'. I also feel that the one hand pointed right and the other pointed left yields a great composition. I'm not sure how I feel about the background... I can't tell if I would like it better if it were darker, lighter, or just as is. Anyway, a great shot.

the high contrast makes the picture

I can't understand the relatively low rating on this one. I think it's an outstanding photo.

Cannot understand either. Composition is great, lighting right on spot and I always liked the feel of FP4+. The entire portfolio shows a real mastery of the B&W media.

I believe this is great photography. Aesthetics=10 originality= 9

Grossly underated on average. This is very good. Well done Laurie.
