Re: PESO contemplation
I suppose it is. I quite often specifically mark the few ones that _aren't_ as SFW. ;-) Actually, quite a few of my recent shots are safe, particularly from this set. Thanks, Dan!

Re: PESO - Contemplation
http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=13083 Boris, Seeing as I was about the only one here that liked this pic, I'll just say again what a good shot it is. I think the composition is about perfect for the scene, and the relative size of the girl is absolutely fine. The overall feeling is one of 'the insignificance of man against nature' and that is illustrated well here. I had no trouble spotting the person in the frame, even in a low-res web version. I also think that, printed nice and large, this pic would be a lovely one to hang on the wall, but in no way does it detract by being smaller as a web image. The only thing I can think of that might improve the shot would be to expose the scene with a better pattern of breaking waves. This may or may not have been possible, although the small section of breaker you have captured looks like it was just about to expand, without getting too close to the rocks. Maybe even breaking onto the rocks, with another starting behind - I don't know, but just looking at patterns in the water to find any way to make it even more interesting than it actually is. I watched for quite some time a similar scene with my Leica CL and 40mm Summicron with FP4 before I decided this was exactly the effect I wanted: http://www.cottysnaps.com/snaps/landscapes/images/pic11.html I was about 200 feet up and the beach was isolated, so no hope of someone in the sand at lower right to give some scale, but I knew that, so went with just nature creating patterns. On a different day with more wind, you'd get lots of frothy water crashing about, but then having a girl there might not work at all. The pic you presented is a fine study of nature and the place we have as human beings within it. Don't be disheartened by a few voices telling you how 'it would work better if printed bigger' - that it may do, but it works just as well for me as it is. Remember - make pictures for yourself. If you are happy, then what else matters? One other person likes it and that's a bonus :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _

Hi! By far 77 Ltd is my favorite lens... I wonder if compositionally this image works... Please be brutal but honest. http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=13083 Thanks. Boris
Re: PESO - Contemplation
Hi Boris, This one doesn't work for me. My first thought is that the woman is placed too far down in the frame. On second thought, it might not be crucial if not the breaking wave, the green rocks and the woman forms a vertical line that pulls all the weight of the composition into the right hand side of the frame. There is also a diagonal in the direction where the woman is looking from lower right to upper left, but it becomes weak by comparison.

RE: PESO - Contemplation
It works when it's a large print. The person is just too small for a tine web image. Some prints are meant to be large. The only suggestion is to play around with the crop for the best emphasis on the person. Collin KC8TKA

RE: PESO - Contemplation
I wonder if compositionally this image works... Please be brutal but honest. http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=13083 For me it's almost, but not quite. There are 2 centres of attention. The first thing my eye is drawn to is the large rock in the lower right quadrant - it's on an intersection of thirds, more or less. My eye is then caught by the woman, more as a distraction than a strong element of the composition. I feel that it would be improved compositionally if she'd had the good sense to contemplate sitting on the rock, or if you had placed her on the intersection of 3rds. The diagonals, the light, the colour and the textures are very good though, as is the idea. Bob
Re: PESO - Contemplation
I wonder if compositionally this image works... Not for me, Boris. You've got some interesting elements, but the composition is weak. Obviously, the rocks are the main feature here, right. The woman, as captured, is actually a detriment - she's so small as to make you concentrate on her trying to figure it out. The water 'above' the rocks doesn't add anything in fact detracts as my eye roams up there looking for added features - which aren't there. A suggestion is to crop horizontally, just above the rocks vertically, to the right of the rocks in the LLH corner - helps make the woman a little more prominent.

Re: PESO - Contemplation
It would be an excellent shot with a 135. The figure is lost, at least in the size presented. It might work well as a 16 x 20, but not as seen here.

Re: PESO - Contemplation
As others have said, I think this would work ok in a large print. In addition, I would crop it more square than the original format proportion. I find the rocks and business to the left of the frame pulls my eye away from the person - sea primary focus. A square crop, centering the circle of water enclosing the person, would be stronger visually. Still needs a large print to pull it off.

RE: PESO - Contemplation
Hi Boris I think I would like the photo even more if seen as big print. Size matters here. It is a beautiful place as others you have shown from Israel.

No, it doesn't work for me. Didn't see the woman before Jostein pointed her out. Then I realised how big the scene is, and that's a bit too late. Printed big, it might work.
