Love the interplay of the lines and the suggestiveness of the colours.
-
Echo Patrick; it's a treat to see this caliber of vision
-
Love the timing, composition, and subject matter. The light on each face defines and describes them exquisitely. I wonder if a more subtle treatment of the colours and their saturation would make for a more classical effect? ......but that would be a different photo wouldn't it...?
[edit] went to your website, had a brief visit, and realize wow! you present exactly what vision you want. going to go back to view and enjoy more.
-
Yes, the vision back thru the lens to the emotion is strong,
-
Detail? The appeal to me is quite different, more from the lack of detail and the subsequent reduction to an observation of abstract shape and line, obtained by tossing texture and color so they don't distract from the essence.
-
This is a treat. The format, framing, and lines give great dynamics, and the warm tones juxtapose with the cold (snow) subject. Looking forward to other comments to flesh out and/or better define the appeal.
-
Very nicely done. The pose is very graceful, and well-illustrated by the lighting. The juxtoposition of the bark texture emphasizes the smooth skin.
-
I think Michael Linder's comment inadvertently defines the issue. The altar table and other nearby components appear perfectly symmetrical because of scale and distance; they're too far away to see aysymmetry. The pews are closer and differences between one side and the other are more obvious. As I said before, I don't think aysymmetry is 'wrong', what was 'bugging' me was my inability to figure out the inconsistency.
-
Yup, it looks like a church, and the exposure/processing is adept. There is something asymmetrical that I can't immediately identify, and it's bugging me. Not that perfect symmetry is required for, or a definition of a good photo, but there seems to be something 'just' off, and it may be me!! Somebody please help me out, and my apologies to Gerald for latching on to his photo for my education. (but it's a good cause....?) I think it's the pews...they're bigger on the RHS, and it's the fault of the architect?
-
Great concept; could have been explored more fully by adjusting tonality of the highlights to differentiate the 'textures'/tones along the top edge. -
It's always a treat to view well-crafted work on photo.net; thank you. -
Thanks all. David, I agree more space on the left would be better, it is not the result of cropping, but of framing error at the time of shooting. I am glad that people like it, even if it is not particularly 'original', but rather a collection of cliches: wide-angle/close viewpoint for exaggerated perspective, somewhat low angle for heroism, contrast and shadows for drama, etc., -

Bizarre confluence of elements; I can see why it had to be photographed.

-
Laurent and Daniel: thank you for your comments that indicate I 'got through' in conveying what I saw.
-
You have a knack for eliciting and capturing flattering expressions, and the choice of b&w to eliminate distracting colour enhances the result.
-
Totally charming,.... although the model deserves most of the credit....
-
A lovely scene, and the shadows being removed from the fence give an interesting levitation effect to the fence.
-
Kudos on the vision and composition....very good. The post processing is a little 'coarse'.....halos around the edges of the legs are distracting. -
UR right, Phillip, it would a different 'take' to the photo, but I didn't think of it at the time, just waited til a figure crossed the frame. Thanks for making time to view and comment. -
Connections make the best subjects, and you've captured the connection here. (overrules the line daggered thru her throat) -
The hair is so lovely that it's almost worth cropping to the horizon for emphasis.
