Jack McRitchie 150 Posted April 30, 2018 Why are examining rooms like this always such threatening places? It feels like they're about to extract your brain out through your nostrils. Definitely not conducive to one's mental health - and to my mind at least, one's physical health as well. Link to comment
tai 3 Posted May 1, 2018 A sad philosophical image reminiscent of the fragility of being, Michael! Remarkably captured. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana Link to comment
Zbigniew Tyburczy - ZT 6 Posted May 1, 2018 Hi Michael, Despite of the lack of human presence some tension can be felt.. Blood pressure gauge seems to show time, just like a clock, Are we running out of time? B/W works very well here, helping to create some sort of dark mood, Maybe in color everything would be more optimistic... Well Done! ZT, Link to comment
Saadsalem 74 Posted May 3, 2018 Telling the ultimate and the only truth of life that is forgotten by the majority until a reminder ring a bell. I always stress the importance of the title for an image, though many do not agree. Look for this ordinary image was transformed into a philosophical theme as one comment stated, and its more than that in my eyes. Great message and fine work. And you have given me a lesson on photography and I will look for a similar subject in my locality to imitate. Thank you . Link to comment
setsail728 15 Posted May 4, 2018 I see you had the usual time to kill before the sawbones showed up! Always nice to have a camera at the ready! Yours is a photo that captures pure emotion! It doesn't get any better than that! Link to comment
michaellinder 16,613 Posted May 8, 2018 Thank you very much - Warren, Tatiana, and Franz. Link to comment
michaellinder 16,613 Posted May 8, 2018 ZT, I'm grateful for your meaningful comments. You are absolutely correct in your observation about the original color version conveying a different mood. Link to comment
michaellinder 16,613 Posted May 8, 2018 Jack, unlike Saad's observations (and Tatiana's), you concentrated on the image's emotional impact (as did ZT and Warren). That was exactly what was on my mind when I shot it. While waiting an unbearable amount of time before the doc made his entrance, my anxiety increased as each minute ticked by. That feeling was paramount when I adjusted the image's tonal levels. Link to comment
michaellinder 16,613 Posted May 8, 2018 Saad, I am very grateful for your very thoughtful comments. Although I did get a quick feeling after I shot this that it may have had emotional content, I didn't think about philosophy, though. I'm glad you caught that. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 286 Posted May 27, 2018 No, thank you! I'll sleep on the street! Very good picture, though! PDE Link to comment
