Untitled

Meditating on a myriad of ways to edit this one. This is one of the

directions of which I am thinking. Thinking of alternatives that are

more high contrast and also sharper.

 

Thanks in advance.

yours are images from a dreamworld, lisa.... or from a nightmare ;-}  this is what enchants me most, and disturbs me most about your work...

at first i saw a boyscout? maybe she isnt trying to make a call or was on the receiving end of one maybe she needed a place to be alone to hide to cry?

Nothing to say, that hasn`t been said.  Something is definitely amiss with this lady in the booth Under a light in the dark.

It needs no editing, other than possibly darkening the background.  I am not even sure about that since it might loose it's dream qualities.  A wonderful picture.

I agree that it "needs" no editing but, depending on how you feel about it and what you want it to express, it might be only the start of something more in tune with what you want. That's entirely up to you. It could have a noir feel with quite a bit more mystery and even cynicism, it could remain more neutrally dreamy, it could become tragic, mournful, or even more impressionistic or abstract. The lighted window in the background could remain a soft and barely-noitced echo or could become much more pivotal. The streetlight above could remain an afterthought or could become a harsh reminder. A good photo like this will allow many possibilities or will sometimes point you in one direction and make you feel like it can only be one way. There's poetry here, no matter how you slice it.
