Lost age - larger view !

Theo, I like this, but, at least on my screen, the shadows in the lower left are so dark that I lose all detail. Any possibility of opening up the shadows a bit? The composition is very good, and the sepia-tone treatment is an excellent choice for this subject.

Hi David,

Thanks for your comment and appreciation !! 

Indeed on the left side, there is a darker zone, due to the strong contrast with the sunlight. On my screen, however, I may see some details, but, only if we'll both have our monitors calibrated, we may hope to see the same picture on it (mine it isn't :) )

But, the main intention is to move the look of the viewer to the right side of the frame, following the sunlight.

All the best,

Theodor D.

I would invite the experienced photographs, who rate this photo with 3.8, to give us some written feedback, to may understand their artistic vision and principles .....  I'm addressing this invitation to:

Cherene Kelly

Chris Hamilton

Kenneth Waller

Michail Lipakis

Su Dawen

I guess all of us could improve our work, following their qualified opinions and thoughts.

Many thanks in advance.
