urban culture 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Nice composition, but very rough light. Was it on purpose and why? Link to comment
guillelobera 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Seguro que Charo haría otro "crop". Aunque sea una foto muy "profesional" es un gran documento. Link to comment
juan_kratzmaier 0 Posted December 15, 2003 No se si no la invertiria y definitivamente jugaria un poco mas con el contraste, me encandila un poco la frente de la señora y me pierdo el ojo aunque la informacion esta ahi. Link to comment
charodiez 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Según exigencias/sugerencias de Guillermo... En la composición vertical me gusta más ceñirme al sujeto y no dejar ese aire a la dcha (aunque es algo que me gusta en las comp. horizontales). Además así evito esas luces reventadas de la izda. Ya me dirás, tan sólo estoy atendiendo a sugerencias ; ) May I say that I miss your frames?? Link to comment

alan chan 0 Posted December 18, 2003 This is again a good subject to pick, interesting headdress and "lots of wrinkles". I think the lighting could be improved by moving the subject to a place with a bit of shade (don't know whether that is possible or you just did a hit & run shot :) I now realise what those patches are, thanks for letting me know of these sad story about skin disease from you previous posting.

cálico 0 Posted January 18, 2004 Oftentimes, when we're shooting environmental portraits and/or photojournalistic images, we must first concern ourselves with getting the image before we lose that vital moment and it's lost forever, never to be recaptured; we can't always "pose" our subjects, we don't always work with perfect weather or great lighting. I can't imagine the conditions under which you shot this image. The subject's age-worn face shows great character (dignity, to me) and we can see and reflect on that woman's struggles with life, nature, the hardships of her environment, etc., and we're afforded the luxury of imaging what that woman's life must be like on a daily basis, and has been for a lifetime; we see all of these things vicariously, and with inner gratitude for the priviledge of living where we do... Your image, Marina, are rich in details that help us deduct and surmize stories from your subject, her wrinkled face, her hands, her tired expression. The harsh lighting (accidental?) is poetic as it suggests a hard life. It takes a special person with unusual sensitivities to previsualize and constantly chronicle images with so much emotional impact. Your images cause us to think, to reflect and wonder about others; sometimes you make us feel uncomfortable and you receive unmerited and unfair harsh criticism for this because you stir our emotions and you touch our souls. Don't stop! Yes, good show, Marina. Thank you for sharing your images with us. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 15, 2004 I often think some of your pictures are the missing part of 'my collection' of Wrinkles of the World!:o))... I didnt get chance yet to travel in 'Black Africa' or in 'India'... except for my business (which is far from art and photography!!) This one for instance is great at many points: details of face and expression, crop (Charo one is also good IMO and get rid of the little white triangle on top right) and positionning in the frame... Great folder of yours! Link to comment
