forgotten Untitled

fantastic shot..but something strange with the background. Maybe with PS. Did u manipulated it a little bit ? 7/5

i just changed the colour mode to b&w....the backround is a little strange as there was a real bad twilight that day...

your comments are greatly appreciated

You have a strong body of work in your portfolio. Look forward to seeing a lot more. This image is great, love the composition.

nice to hear that, your comments are greatly appreciated. regards

I love the expression and the cut you gave to the picture... perfect !

please if you rate, give a comment!

thanx

Very good portrait and crop!!

This is just amazing. The expression on the child's face, the dog, the framing, the background details...excellent work all the way.

This is indeed excellant. And there are quite a few interesting images in your folder. I do feel you need to make more use of tonal range and contrast for the B&W stuff. My only critism of this shot is that the finnish is a bit flat.

 

indeed this is a little bit flat, but there was a twilight and no good lightning conditions... any technically suggestions for more tonal range?regards

Sure, as a film user I'd go for a slighly harder grade of paper, maybe dodge the boy a bit and in particular his eyes to bring out the whites. I'd maybe burn the sky a touch at a low grade just so the white is not overwelming.

For a digital capture you can adjust the levels in photoshop image/adjustments/levels. Just play with the sliders for midtones, highlights and shadows. Then maybe using the dodge and burn tools work on his face, in particular selecting the highlights and shadows. Just play around and soon you should be able to get a bit of extra impact in it.

It's a really excellant shot.

This is really a good one, but needs some adjustment as some user has suggested.

Nicely done...

 

Strong portfolio.

 

All the best.

Love your pictures Simon and this is really outstanding!

 

Good job!

 

Take care.

I think this looks like the same boy/dog combo in my colour folder. Really nice angle with the causeway behind, an excelent candid shot, cheers, Miles.

i like this photo alot. while the background is not really supporting, the kid's expression and placement already make a really powerful impact of this photo.

a very nice capture!
