Any comments, ratings or suggestions are welcome! Thanks :)

The lighting troughout the image is very good and the composition too but one might ask what the photographer actually wanted to show us? Is it like the editors say, the density? There's no title above the image, there's no title on the frame... I like the good use of black and white but I'm missing some elements here. I think, it is not finished yet, but I like it so far!

VERY cool idea! Only the contrast is a bit flat and/or the image suffers from underexposure. What are those little stains on the bottom? I think you can easely improve the pic a bit in PS but the idea remains great!! And the composition too.

I agree with the above comment! The background is crazy but good. And the picture itself is awesome! And it's a nice building too! :)

For me the blue jacket is quite okay. It makes a frame around the picture. I like the crop you have chosen and also the colors are quite nice and contrasty. You keep getting better and better!

Hehe, this goes under "Fine Arts" :) Really well executed with a nearly monochrome touch. Amazing how many details this film captures without too much grain! You have captured a nice moment which many of us would have missed. Good work!

Very cool idea but I don't like the unnatural looking colors. Perhaps a bit Photoshop could help.

No, no, the picture is very, very nice! Nice smile and everything, really! I was just wondering if it was something better when placed elsewhere. It's not awkward but different. And hey, nobody says it's forbidden to be different! :) Keep up shooting, you're getting better and better with every shot!

Let me guess, blurred in PS? ;)

Actually a nice picture, well caught laugh butI don't know what to thing about the placement.Usually I'd place the person on the right when looking to the left and vice versa. It looks good but perhaps you could do also a second version, just for comparison? :)

I absolutely agree with Eugene!

I must say, the first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was "Opa cigo!" :) For the englishspeaking of yous something like "Go gipsy!" :)

 

Bravo :)

And also your new camera seems to be performingvery well :)

 

Cheers!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH YEAH! :)

This rocks :) I really love it! It's like, don'tknow, the mummy, waking the dead, vampires coming out, very moody, very dark, very claustrophobic! Shit, great! :)

A little more detail in his face would be good but I guess it's the scan, not the film. How is your new camera performing? I'm glad that you finally received it! :) Have fun! :)

Ah, almost forgot, the pic is cool :) I only would have placed the man a little more to the middle. 1/3 : 2/3 or something. :)

Really nice. The tilted background is okay for me. Did you try to dodge the darker areas a little bit? It's okay, even if it's this dark.

I must say, technicaly my photo is perhaps not the best. Also the subject is not very impressive.

 

I didn't mean to offend this person by posting his photo. As I already said, he did not notice that the photo was taken but I think his wife did. Where is she, you might be asking? Well, she's sitting right next to him but in this very moment she must had been playing with the dog, or something, so you cannot see her. But she was there (see the two cups of coffee?). So was the dog (well, there's no dog food though:).

 

I'm aware of the fact that the photo shows a sad mood. Indeed, the sepia toning and the wrinkled face don't look that funny. But, as I can remember, the wrinkled face is only showing him laughing. No, his mouth and the rest of the face are not visible but that's the way it was.

 

Perhaps this is also a very bad reportage-photo since it hides some essentials and has it's own language. It makes the viewer feel whatever the viewer wants to feel. Even with the added comment, one can feel sad. If you want to do so, do it.

I think photographs are free to be interpreted by their viewers and believe me, this Monsieur would not have said anything against me taking the picture and showing it to so many of you guys and girls.

 

I think that I understand your point of view and I think that north american folks are much more aware of the "private space" every single person has but me, as an European, don't have the same way of thinking and I do not feel like intruding his "private space". I've experienced some people telling me not to take photographs of them and I agreed not to. But let me ask you something, and please don't think that I'm thinking of having a chance to compete with Mr. Dummet or Cartier-Bresson, but did those two guys ever ask for permission when making really strong and powerful photographs?! I don't think that every single streetlife photo of them is made after the permission had been given.

And can someone explain to me what the moral and ethic difference between mine and Tony's shot is? I don't feel like competing with him and I find his shot better in execution but I think that they are quite similar. And in his shot the lady also didn't notice that someone was taking a picture of her. So, what's actually the main point, we're talking about? I don't want to be offending you, please don't missunderstand. :)

 

However, I hope that you understand me as I think to be understanding you.

And I will continue to make such photographs and try to contribute to photo.net. If someone feels offended and doesn't like them, feel free to tell me and post in the forum. If you like this kind of photography, also feel free to tell.

 

Last thing to say: Since I'm not making any profit of this and this is only for my private purposes, I don't think that this photo should be correct, whether in terms of photo-journalism or any other legal terms. After all, it's only for my photo-album.

Hehe, had a good laugh, Dejan :) Funny idea, really! :) That's a big benefit if having a digital cam! You can just try and delete if it's not okay! For my taste the finger should look a little bit more natural but hey, it's funny! :)

 

I'm waiting for more of your works :)

and again, so simple and so nice :)

I suppose a) you're a genius or b) you shoot10.000 rolls of film to get so many good pics! :)

So simple and yet beautyful! This looks very classic :) The only flaw I see is that the red isn't really red, at least not here on this monitor. Perhaps at home it looks better. What I also find cool is that the sign says "Arret" instead of "Stop". Even in France they have "Stop" signs, as far as I recall :)

I also think that some more contrast could even improve this superb, AA like, picture! Very, very nice! I wish I had the time to wander around and take such nice pictures!

hehe, quite an usual perspective but very effective :) I like this picture because of it's good idea and simplicity :)

No, he isn't sad, just smiling at his dog. But the interesting thing is, one cannot actually tell, whether he's smiling or not.

Ratings and comments are welcome :)

 

Thanks for visiting

 

Cheers,

Well, I love to work with shallow DOF but in this case I couldn't do else! The cafe was barely lit and I used the Kodak TMZ as ISO 1600. Thank god I had the 50/1.4 mounted. Hence, the shallow DOF :)

I like it too and my girlfriend loves it :)

you're getting close to a "master of improvisation sciences" =)

incredible idea! :)

name it "battlefield" or something ;)

Very nice effect!

First I thought this was a manipulation and actually the light source was the sun! Incredible :)

Ha, this is a cool idea! :) Very good!

then go ahead and do whatever you want with these pawns :) Upload here and let everybody participate in discussions :) That's what this page's for, isn't it? :)

I really hope you don't mind, that I've picked up your idea.

 

btw. you've got email from me ;)

 

Pozdrav,
