v750-pro scan of 35mm.

all comments welcome.

thanks Adan, yeah there was more on the right but i was positioned on a bank and didnt set myself up too well so the horizon was at a slant... leveling it didn't leave much to play with

at night.

scan of a neg

the soft tone and the grey almost make it feel snowy. My first thought was for melancholy and alone... neither of which is bad... and left me, as others have said, with a sense of calm.

I would have like to see the figure stand out a little bit more from his background, but then that would have had to alter the whole angle and nature of the shot, so I'll just have to live with it.

One thing I might have done different would be to swing right a bit more and have a little bit more of the water side rather than the grass side in the shot - but again, that would have altered the shot and I don't know whats out of frame.

After all that mate, I like it; feels nice.

at the point

I see there are a couple of ways to take the image but for me the first is about symmetry and so I would have considered the centre hand a little more. Bringing the fingers together would have perhaps streamlined it and maintained the harmony... but of course that may not be the message your after aye? heh.

Just a little bit flat tonaly.

i like the way it smoulders; heats up across the top of the grass and blurs slightly up across the top left. nice shot.

Nice shot; I like the tones across the skin, although a small amount of the hair on the left is a tiny bit bright. My only complaint is that the hair (left hand side) is a bit too distracting from the overall feel of the shot. I've lost my contact with the subject as it (she) is a little too obscured. I don't feel the sensual because I can't really see what is happening across the face and as it is so close in there is no posture to get an impression from so I'm not really feeling any sense of the mood of the shot as the main element is too covered.

Just my thoughts; hope that is of some use.

panF plus 50.

a poor quality scan of the image.

any comments appreciated.

a poor quality, low res scan of the image. Any comments appreciated.

I like the play between hot and cold (alluded to in a previous comment) its almost like the warmth of the open fire on a blustery day with the fine colouring you have given, but this is the same thing that also impairs the image for me. The conflict between the two doesn't give me a full sense of either so I don't really experience a story or message from the overall effect.

Her left breast is also giving me some issue with the blending against the background - it looks very stuck on in comparison to the rest of the body.

A nice image though. Hope that is of some use. Cheers, Rob.

I like the high contrast of this one and how the whole image has such a feeling of heat. Well shot in what I assume was pretty intense sunshine to get just the right amount of highlight.

Just to wax more..er.. philosophical I suppose.. I get a great sense of both destination and of journey to come, which leads the imagination off nicely.

I'm in two minds though about the darkness across the rooftop shadows but unsure if more detail would benefit the overall feel...hmmm.

Nice image mate.

a nice relaxin shot mate with everything leading to the feel of bath. The soft, warm colouring, the plush curtains and wooly gowns all give a feeling of heat and comfort with the bright break of light giving an almost hazey, steamed up feel.

A couple of beers, good book and an hour to spare and bath time is sorted.

;-)

Just stickin my head in to see some of your Blad shots ;-)

Nicely detailed and I love that square format. Good shot.

ha. comments appreciated.

Thanks Anthony, appreciate the feedback.

I cropped in close during post process, I was in two minds but decided on the closeness to accentuate the line of the rope, although I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the bottom bit so that it tucked nicely into the corner; I liked the dark wall too much.

I couldn't get rid of the 3 dots either without losing the very top of the post thing, heh, its amazing what you can find after the shot is taken even if you thought you were paying attention at the time.

heh, didn't mean this spot was of a dump mate, just that you found it hard to believe the place existed in the downtown area, wondered if the general place wasn't too great.

Regardless, not meaning to spam your post, a nice shot. I like what the little boost in colour added too.
