A View of Rooms

My thanks to Owen O'Meara for encouraging me to think about posting an image that does not retain the original aspect ratio of the camera it was shot with.

Feedback appreciated.

nice

I love the sense of mystery here, David. This has the feeling of a still from an film. The balance of light feels like it does in real life. A terrific image!

A View of Rooms...as opposed to A Room with a View?

I think this is marvelous.  One of your best.  I love the split-frame look that the windown frame gives this shot...almost as if we're seeing two photographs side by side.

There's a definite cinema noir look to this for me, and I like how the girl seems isolated from the clutter of the scene outside the window.  The clean lines of the window frame adds to that opposite of clutter look.

I think this photograph is open to several interpretations, which is another big reason I love it.  Outstanding b&w, I might add, and by all rights, should be a prime candidate for photo.net's POW.

Osincev, Thanks!

Mark, I do like this one myself. Thanks for taking the time.

Jim, As mentioned to Mark, I do like this one myself. Strangely if I hadn't seen this image by Owen I might never have posted it here. I appreciate your comment. Thanks a lot.

You must work more for us! I'm waiting for new shots by you and now I'm happy!

Kind words and thanks for encouraging me. I will try not to disappoint. Thanks again!

David:

This is a beauty. Beautifully thought out and composed. I am glad you decided to post it as a BW. It is just that kind of an image. BRAVO.

-Owen

I am glad I posted this too. Thanks for the comment and your encouragement.

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, David!

Kind words. Thanks!

Good one indeed...

David, for sure one of your best. The composition is based on a concept that I like it very much: the "In-out" atmosphere. Inside the sensual nudity of a young woman with a great lightning, suggesting silence, intimacy, and a kind of curiosity for the "other side" of the window. Outside the whole world occupying the full scenery, noisy, dirty, overcrowded, and merciless. This is a formidable work. Chapeau for you.

Vladamir, Thanks for stopping by.

Carlos, I fear your interpretation is better than the image itself. Thank you kindly for those words.

No David, it's impossible. But I should say that a photo is just light turned into emotions. So, that's what happen to me in front of this.

One of your best, goes to my favourites.

Ben

I am honoured and humbled. Thanks.

I thought I had already commented on this, but I see I haven't.

The contrast works to really increase the dramatic look of the image, it is a film noir look I really like. Excellent!

Jim Phelps

I have to agree with most of the others, in my humble opinion, this is one of your best photos posted here. This photo can stir up lots of emotion. Very good David.

Jim, Better late than never. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I am glad you like it.

Mike, Your agreement agrees with my sense of pride. Thanks a lot.

It is a great image. Very original and effective composition.

Thanks for the look and comment.

I love this shot! Great composition, light and presentation... and above all fantastic atmosphere, full of mystery. Very well done! Where is it? Hong Kong?

What´s that little RED thing in the lower left corner? A chilli pepper?

Perles, Yes! Hong Kong. (Sorry for the late reply.) Thanks for the comment.

Bjorn, Yes! A chilli. I don't know why started to put the chilli on my photos.
