Great!

May be too much sharpness? If the total sharpness wasn't the goal, then probably it's too sharp, if you wanted to make a totally perfect sharp image - then there are some problems on the mostly left side of the chin and left side of the nose - too much photoshop applied?

Best Wishes!

Just great reflections! I know that you probably couldn't do anything about what I'll say next, but still: those 2 big cranes shouldn't be in the image - merging with the buildings they flatten the background, thus taking the depth of the image. And as you know, the more layers you have in the image the more interesting and informative it is. I wish there were more little cranes in the field, rather than big ones in the very front of the image. Probably more space around the scene bigger panorama of the city, and the backlit huge crane (If you can't choose a place without it) in the center would be better on that location.

Regards!

Coldness and the fog in my mind is always associated with loneliness and calmness. So may be more space around the tree would be helpful?

Otherwise, very nice, I like the little bushes/tree brunches and stones unedr the tree a lot, they make an image very stable!

Well done! Congratulations!

Oh, sure you're right! Emotion is more important than everything else! Emotion is what all art (including photography of course) is about!

Great body and excellent light! A good combination of strength and relaxation. Do you have a logical explanation for him to be smoking, besides defining his head? the smoke without a cigarette will be great (a cigarette gives a link with time, and the abstract image is to my opinion is always better)

Great Job!!!!!

A bit wider depth of field might work better - just enough to get the hand and water drops on the mirror surface. Would look like an ads for parfume, if to give a bit more space on the right ))

Looks great as it is though!!

Thank you, Johanna and Milo!

Actually, I did a smaller test on Ilford Warmtone with a slight sepia toning! It does looks closer to the images of the early 20 century (and I like it better, too) I wish I could tone big formats, but I don't have an extra sink for a toner..

I'll scan the smaller one ang post it in a while!

Thank you once again, I do really appriciate your comments and advices!

Hand-printed on Ilford FB 1 meter by 1,5 meters.

Really is my first good enough (on my opinion) photo, hand-printed in

that size.

I'll be happy to get the critiques on it, thank you!
