Hi,
My lot for this months gallery were images
from:
Jens Bladt - Painting Beauty
Derek Zukowski - Heavy
Cotty - Waitress, London, 1980
Jens Bladt - Painting
Beauty
I really like the mix of colours and
textures. I like the fact that there is forground interest with the masks
as well as the colourful backdrops. The human interest really keeps the
image going, she looks as though she wouldn't be anywhere else even if she could
be. Maybe a lower perspective would have added more to the photograph
rather than the slightly downward angle. An upward perspective
may also have avoided the highlight in the bottom left corner which is
distracting. A photo to be proud of.

I especially like the feeling of movement within
this shot, you can almost hear those power chords being strummed. Although
the shot is interesting there is something missing that makes my eye wander and
never really settle. If I place my hand over the shadow in the bottom left
corner the picture seems to be given more depth and vitality. Only my
opinion but it is usually the little things that stand out.
Cotty - Waitress, London,
1980
I really like this picture, it proves that you
don't need eye contact to make a strong portrait. Love the moody
lighting, it could be a picture from the fifties or sixties. I would love
to see an identical picture but in colour just to see the difference, my guess
is that it would lose much of its appeal. I just wonder what she is
thinking. I just wish there wasn't quite as much of a highlight in the top
right of the picture although it does contrast well with the dark top left and
that there were a few wisps of smoke just to give the image a bit of life.
Well composed and well taken with the available light.
Paul
