abstract picture created by nature.

one of my very few portraits

want to check if any room for improvement here :^)

far not perfect, of course...

Looks unusual. troubling. diffrent from the rest.

done a while ago with slow Pentax macro 100mm AF lens.

I am interested in your comments.

I like it. You made correct choice of medium - SCALA. I am absolutely sure (from my experience with Scala and other B&W with dr5) that no digital or desaturated color image could perform so well for this image.

I like it. Do you?

Any thoughts?

what do you think or feel about this image?

It was the first and last superwide angle lens I used to use. It is difficult to answer your questions. I use Pentax primes now, and have seen pictures made by other respected manufacturers which had ghosting when Pentax would not have.

The lens was multicoated, sometimes showed flare at very corners (at bottom) which resulted in somewhat muted/less saturated colors at (bottom) corners. I did not see general flare covering the whole image. It might show slight single surface ghosting. I would be interested to compare it to Sigma lens. BTW, the lens had huge spherical fron glass.

 

This nice fortress is on Volga River not so far from Nizhniy Novgorod. Not difficult to reach from there: 2-hour water trip by that speedy vessel with underwater wings. I personally got there by 9-day kayaking down small tributary of Volga River.

 

 

 

Yes, it is Mir 20/3.5 lens. It was 100 ASA film, handheld, not sunny, so, pretty much wide open.
