Re: PAW 2007 - 19 - GDG
No tomatoes, but I would crop it (to exclude the woman at the far right), and the highlights are washed out, the shadows clogged up. Anything to be done about that? [Film or digital?

I like it. I see it as a study of the woman on the left. You've retained enough shadow detail to make it work. Very interesting.

Re: PAW 2007 - 19 - GDG
I like it. The woman on the left communicates a gloomy, melancholic feeling and she is walking against the light. My guess is that it could've worked with her more to the right, but I like it, gives me the feeling that there's some more to read from the photo (storywise). Was that even English?

RE: PAW 2007 - 19 - GDG
Hi Godders, I'm going to have to look at this one a few more times. My first reaction is quite positive. The pic has a haunting quality to it, something dreamlike or surreal. Unlike Maris, I think the woman on the right adds quite a bit to the feel of the photo. Her presence adds something to the pic. Having her may or may not improve the photo for me - I'll take another look at a later time. Speaking of tomatoes, I made a really great roasted tomato sauce last night - Yum-O!

Personally, I'd clone out that black circle in the back, which I think is actually someone's head, because I find it highly distracting. Draws the eye too much in a bounce effect -- bounce to woman, bounce to circle, back and forth. And since it is not obviously someone's head cloning it out won't make that person look headless. Hehehe. Other than that, I like it. Marnie aka Doe :-) On Apr 17, 2007, at 1:58 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: The behinder I go, the aheader I get.

Re: PAW 2007 - 19 - GDG
Hi Godders, To be honest, I didn't really notice that black circle, but now that akaDoe has mentioned it, I'd agree. I thought about the pic during the day and realized that what I like about is that it very much reminds me of that great portrait of James Dean, Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
