Composition I

I like what you were going here for . However , the final effect is a bit suffering the quality loss what maybe not giving enought chance to apriciate your art. IT is still a well thought image. PK >

Thanks for comment. I guess that by the quality loss you mean hudge grain, low resolution, low contrast and the limited tonal range of this photograph (as well as many other of my photos from this folder). While I admire and envy the grainles, sublime quality of skin tones that masters like you can produce, I have been here after something else: to make a photoghraph less obvoiusly photographic, to remove the most photographic quality of a photograph - DETAILS - and yet not to change it into a graphic work without tones etc. I wanted still to produce a photograph. The "quality loss" to a certain extent was used here on purpose. It was done in the old fashioned chemical way, without digital help. Many people do not like it and I receive many 1/1 for aesthetics from those who think aesthetics = technical quality, and are used to academic precepts here, but still some like such photos a lot, seeeing quality not in the grain, tones, sharpness but somewhere else.
