I am trying hard but I don't think this one works Jonathan. I like the idea though (that's where most of my shots end) and see it happening. -
that's a studio lighting (an artificial light) and I can't help thinking that the picture was staged. Somehow, that knowdledge kills the idea or message behind the composition. And, assuming that this man is really homeless and "scared to death," it makes me even more uncomfortable to think you took him to a studio and asked him to perform for you.

not flattering and not a portrait --- weird, therefore, I like it.

Re: Leslie's comments about his/her favorite for POW from the 9/11 folder. I understand that you're coping with the 9/11 tragedy and so do I, and so do we -- but, in a way, I am thankful that elves did not pick your favorite bloody sink as POW. Photography can be a cold bitch if we expect it to be more than it is. Your bloody sink remains just that, even with a footnote. After reading your poem, I understood that this photograph was your(very healthy) way of coping with very disturbing feelings and an emotional turmoil. It just that you shouldn't be disappointed that this bloody sink does not tell me the whole story. And without that story, too much is missing or too much is shown.
Congratulations on PoW.

I just want to sign my name next to Pete's & Marlene's

with a/the car ... please, don't remove it. Or make another picture without the car. One thing, keep your pixels count down to 500 -- it's opening painfully slow and I can't see full frame on my 15" screen :0) Great shot, Kevin!

image ... great execution of an unbelievable composition. What a great eye you have...Those two trees in the background -- one of them fallen just like anyone of us would like it to fall. Whew! The only thing I would change would be taking all the shades of grey out and I would welcome you to the world of pure formalism. Happy New Year and many more good shots to come. BTW: Frantz above is the sweetest commentator on photo.net -
I wish I could see people in your pictures ... I know that you know what I meant ... hmmm... now I confused myself. Let's start again ... I would like you to come closer to the people you chose for your pictures and I would like you to keep that irrelevant photographic device of yours open for 2 f-stops longer. I think. But I love the atmosphere in your photographs and your approach to the technical side of photography ... I bet it extends farther ... when will you post something again? Have a great shooting year -- MVS

Poor ole minolta ... good ole fog

good use of a lens Gerald. The tilted horizon is crucial to this picture -- it adds to the "laziness" and makes this shot interesting. I, too, would like to see fisherman's face -- at least some of his profile. And, I believe, you needed one stop longer exposure or perhaps, some dodging of his black shirt -- if negative has details, I would reprint it because his shirt takes lotsa central space in this composition and it's solid black now. Thank you for taking interest in my works and have a great shooting year.

congratulations Jonathan -- I saw this picture earlier and liked it for its non-aggressive approach. Actually, my first impression was: gosh, that's post-coital cigarette. Whatever you've done to her, it worked. She looks very realxed and natural and the grain (plus her cigarette) toned down the usual message -- I am not implying that your model is sexless, I am simply saying she's much more here. Funny, to say but perhaps you should try to shoot all your nudes with their hair covered? -
This photograph looks like a litograph or a drawing from a 17th century history book ... how did you do this? Did you use a very high filter printing (+5)to leave almost lines? Forgive me, but I am a beginner and very much interested in traditional printing techniques. -
Wow! Paolo... this one (& most of your wonderful portfolio) looks very much like the 1960's Italian cinema ... I was thinking that perhaps I'd would like to see her face but it's to the advantage of the image to see only a beautiful contour. Brava!
-
I agree with the comment above but am concerned about lost details in the hair on her right ... was this your intention? Also, I believe you added sparks in her right eye ... the light is not that selective, at least not when I am shooting ... But overall I really love her face and a relaxed, "knowing" expression ... she looks terrific in that grainy light ... Happy New Year from New York Jonathan :0)

Tony --your father is carrying Strathfield, Sydney on his head. Help him,please. -

well, Alex, try to think what kind of photo would you take if you woke up in the middle of the battlefield with an ole camera... I admit, this isn't the best of photojournalism but, hey, don't pretend you don't know why the ratings are so high

Ken is online 24/7 -- cool shot btw :0)

Congratulations on P.O.W., Ian. I would choose 20 other of your photos for that honor .... never thought this particular one would be their choice...well, anyway, you got plenty of visitors and that's good for B&W photography...all the butterfly & kodak moment catchers got to see da photography :0) -
Gosh I love B&W & I love Ilford -- so rich a texture ... but why did you decide to cut off her buttocks -- I think she (& the rest of us)would love to have them framed :o)
-
congratulations ... finally a P.O.W. deserving that title. I was immediately drawn to that photograph... there's some magic about B&W photography, something I quite don't understand yet and, perhaps, never will but can tell nonetheless...such is your photograph.

can't take my eyes off this picture ... not only the scene but colors ... amazing... and yes, I would crop it a bit differently -- cut out that dressed guy on the left and this way put the central red-dressed man a bit away from the center but he's doing fine walking towards the camera. Gosh, I just can't imagine shooting better in this situation -- I would probably stand there with my jaw wide open, unable to shoot. Great stuff.
