I sure do. Now that I'm back on Facebook I feel I'm walking on
eggshells every time I post something. Their attitude to the
definition of art and what is acceptable to them is inscrutable.

Re: PESO - woman seated by the fire

2016-12-28 Thread Bruce Walker 
Thanks, Larry.

This shot was part of an experiment for me in trying to frame more
loosely and include more ambient detail. Trouble for me here is that
the ambient contains little interesting detail. The stone/brick walls
are bare, and the floor is nice but featureless. So I ended up
cropping into the frame a bit in the end. The fire is supposed to
balance against the girl and give your eyes something else to wander
over. I decided to make the circle of her petticoat symmetrically
contained by the frame and she's leaning back so her upper body ends
up to the left and places the fire to the right. I thought that made a
nice inverted triangle.

Sigh. Who knows? Composition is a tough language to learn. Sometimes I
think I should go to night school art classes, but I'm a complete
klutz with paint brushes, so I think I'd get tossed out. I might be
okay with pastels or chalk though. Hmmm ...

I love the lighting, and the subject is gorgeous.  Having her so 
centered in the frame doesn't feel right to me.  At the very least I'd 
crop the right and bottom tighter so she is looking more into rather 
than out of the frame.  Alternatively, I'd try cropping tight to the 
dress and over her head as well.  While she is excellent, the fire is 
merely nice and I think cropping in as tight as you can would dilute 
less of the excellent with just nice.
