Guest Guest Posted January 28, 2009 I can't remember if I've said this before or not (my mind is going), but I'm becoming jealous of your black and white work. Without getting too technical about it, I really love all the opposing angles presented in this photograph. I also love the intensity of her look into the lens. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted January 29, 2009 Well Jim! I don't think you have ever given me such a compliment. My mind is going too but I am 100% sure I would have remembered that one. Strangely I am not fully satisfied with this image. I am not sure why although I do like the way the model interacts with the prop and the way she looks at the camera. I feel I failed here. Maybe a master like you should have taken this. It is you (an others like Owen) that has shown me that the medium of black and white is a good one. With that in mind, you may see more B&W from me. So thanks a lot for the encouragement. Link to comment
juan-de-santa-anna 0 Posted January 29, 2009 I think I like what the Lute is wearing...Both of you have gone Luty...or is it Luti...? You both are more than proficient in B&W and incredibly talented/creative as well... The lead-in with her left leg is perfect....drawing you around and around the frame...with her frame...I never leave the image because those big eyes keep grabbing me back...all the tones white or black and in between are just perfect....Nice..... juan Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks for all the kind words! She does have incredible eyes, doesn't she? Link to comment
owen_omeara 1 Posted February 1, 2009 David: This is damn near perfect. The composition is outstanding and the tension works. I was originally going to suggest not cropping her left leg but I have changed my mind about that. The crop increases the tension in the image and that is one of the things I love about it. The tonal range is wonderful and the detail in the dark hair is fantastic. I wish I had taken this one. It is one of your best. -Owen Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted February 2, 2009 Kind words Owen. I do like it but as I said to Jim, I feel something is missing. Maybe I will play with it and see if I can satisfy myself. Link to comment
aeaster 0 Posted March 24, 2009 I think that she should try wearing a piccolo. Occarina? Harmonica? Tin whistle maybe? Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted March 25, 2009 I think there is a photograph of her somewhere wearing a flute. That is close to a tin whistle? Thanks a lot! Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks Doug! I like this one myself but maybe for different reasons to you. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks a lot! I thought it was a little different and was hoping others would think so too. Link to comment
