paul moshay 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Bill, Camera position a little to the right or a little to the left. The guitar cutting his face in half doesn't tell the story enough. The silhouette idea is good but there is too much dark stuff behind him to make it work.Paul Link to comment
wingell 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Thanks for the observations and ideas, Paul--I appreciate your input. I shot from the chosen position in order to use the guitar player's back as a clean delineation. I really had no interest in showing the subject's face--the whole point of this image was to portray a mood suggested by a musician playing in a mostly empty restaurant. I thought the light complemented the theme, and it seems to me that, contrary to your thought that the area behind the subject is too dark for an effective silhouette, the bulk of the guitarist against the contrasting furniture, floor, wooden wall and window does provide a real counterpoint. Again, thanks for looking. Cheers, Bill Link to comment
