Rice bed in June

I love your composition and it is really nice except top part of the photo looks a bit busy, (too many shadows) But still very nice.

Thanks Ben & you'r right. After you point that out, it's so obvious.

Hi Mike,

 

On your PN profile page you write:

 

"My goal is to some day make a photograph that matters."

 

Well, I guess you have reached your goal. This sleeping beauty matters, IMHO. :-)

 

Just treat her well, crop her a bit and print her with all the tones that you can reach out for. And if you do your own silver gelatine printing let me know.

 

Have a very good New Year!

 

Lutz

Thanks for the comment & the words of encouragement. The truth is, when it comes to printing I am out to sea. I've no room for a real dark room & so I have no experience except for processing negatives now & then in the kitchen. I'm at the mercy of an epson printer or a lab.

 

Right now I'm trying to figure out how & what I need to get some serious printing done. I would like to turn some of these old negatives into prints. Again, thanks for stopping by here Lutz, I really do appreciate someone taking the time.

Hello Mike, its a very moody picture, its good you treated it as graphics, congrats! CF

great choice of composition for B&W!!

Super!
