Great shot Frank.
The contrast works fo rme,the background is appealing and i like the placement of the
hand.For me,it

Frank, a tender almost intruding image. Female/Female?
I believe a tighter crop would improve the impact of this image. Crop from the LH edge 
to eliminate most of the black hair and crop out about half the distance between the 
cap and the RH edge.
All the above coming from an outdoor photographer.

Hi!

Frank, one word - you rule ...

I really like this one. In this case I cannot say why I like it, I
just do. It is so easy here to imagine myself in some gallery of art
looking at this photograph printed real big, framed real nice and with
little printed text in the corner of the frame...

Thanks for sharing. It is definitely a lesson for me.

You're welcome!

There's a bit of discussion starting WRT to the black mass on the left.
Just so y'all know, there is a bit of detail on the print, that's not 
showing on the scan.  Not a lot, but it's there, just some barely visible 
loose strands of Lucies black hair, and yes, they do provide a bit of 
relief on the print.

This is only a working 8x10, I'm sure that you're right, and that a bit 
more detail could be burned out in future prints.
Just a little detail there to break up the solid black is all you 
need.  When I pulled it into photoshop and lightened it I could see a bit 
in there.

I'm glad you noticed the grey area top left (I think it's an A/C unit or 
something - doesn't matter, it's there).  I kind of like the way it 
balances things, too.  Thanks for noticing.
Actually, I got my left and right mixed up...  No problem with the top left 
though.  But the other top left (top _right_) really reinforces the right 
figure as a strong center of interest in this shot.  The lines all sort of 
converge and point in toward her, and then the eye gets swept into the 
strong horizontal composition, which is expressed in many mays (I just now 
noticed how the hand-shadow / lock of hair add yet another horizontal 
element.)

Ideally, a faint light area moving from the lower left towards the center 
will not only open up the shadow there, but echo/compliment/balance the 
design elements in the upper right.

Put all that together with subject matter that has amplified relevance (at 
least here in the states these days) and you've got one kick-ass image!

Re: PAW #4 - Haley's Ring

2004-03-07 Thread Shel Belinkoff
Frank,

be more concerned with the lighter areas.  Bring down the
white and light grey behind Haley, and bring down the white
area between the two to a considerable degree.  It's
distracting, creates a bit of "separation" or distance
between the lovers.  By bringing down the background the
viewer will better focus on the kiss and the lovers.

It's a good photograph that can be made into an exceptional
one with careful printing and attention to mood.

Re: PAW #4 - Haley's Ring

2004-03-07 Thread Shel Belinkoff
OK, let me rephrase that a bit ... it's not ~always~
important that shadow detail be present.  What we do with
B&W is look not only to record a scene, but to create a
mood, evoke a feeling.  In a photo like Frank's, reducing or
eliminating shadow detail allows the viewer to focus on the
kiss, the subtle shading of the hands, the skin tones, and
so on.  Too much information in the shadows will distract
from the central point of the image, perhaps making it
weaker.  So, even if there was a good bit of detail in the
shadows, printing it down might be quite appropriate. Mood
isn't always dependent on detail.

Nice one, Frank!  I like the way the background highlights converge behind 
the figure on the right. There's a nice yin and yang of dark and light in 
the frame, with the dark areas rising to the left, light seemingly falling 
on the right, and the figures making a nice UL / LR diagonal, reinforced by 
the lines of the fingers.

I would vote for some more detail in the shadow areas on the lower left.  
There's such a large area of pure black that the left figure seems to just 
melt into the corner, sort of flattening out.  I think that as the eye 
moves from left to right over the dark area, it goes too long without any 
visual cues to form a gestalt, so you are left with the impression of the 
lower left corner just being a flat black area.  You don't need much in 
there - just a few visual cues that it's not all black (which I suspect can 
be coaxed out of the negative) and the left figure would pop back out of 
the corner.

Nonetheless, fantastic image!

2004-03-06 Thread Shel Belinkoff
Hi Frank ...

This is one of the best photos of yours that I've seen, and
I'll tell you why.  But first, allow me this comment: all
the other work of yours that I've seen here exhibits a
certain enthusiasm, an excitement that can be seen and felt,
but they're not all good photographs.  Your obvious
enthusiasm moves past the OOF shots, the poorly scanned
shots, the shots that were less than ideally framed, and so
on ... I suppose that the enthusiasm and joy and excitement
that comes off the screen makes the less than technically
good pics, good pics.  I hope you understand what I'm trying
to say ... I suspect you do.

Now, this shot has a much different look and feel to it, not
only because of the subject, but because everything seems to
come together  framing, focus, clarity of purpose,
strength of the image, and so on.  It's as though everything
you've been learning has come together in that 1/125th of a
second that it took to make the exposure, even if not
consciously.  This looks like a very deliberate shot ...

It is a great photograph ... it is a ~PHOTOGRAPH~ not an
image, not a pic, not a snap. This is one that deserves 
to be printed well, and printed large.  This is one that
I'd want to hang on my wall.

One thing that's not clear on my screen is if the blacks
have any detail.  I'd hope that there are some areas
that are completely black ... this photograph needs such
depth ... I wish I could see the print.

Re: PAW #4 - Haley's Ring

2004-03-06 Thread frank theriault
Paul,

Go back and look again.  You've missed something that I think is obvious 
(it's why the ring thing might raise some questions).  If you don't know 
what you've missed, go back to the photo.  I've answered it in my response 
to your comment on photo.net.

Thanks for the comment.  I'm pleased with the way it turned out.  It's my 
first roll of Neopan 1600 pushed to 3200.  The LX handled the exposure 
beautifully, IMHO (it was set to auto, aperture f2.0).

thanks,
frank

Great shot, Frank. It hooked me immediately. I love the tonal range,  the 
way the woman's eyes are closed, the spread of the man's hand.  Super.

"The Kiss" was taken by Shel (and likely thousands before him), but I  
think it would have been a good title (have I whetted your appetite  yet? 
).  So, I settled on "Haley's Ring", a title that I hope  raises more 
questions than it answers:

I'd really like to hear your comments on this one.

Okay, Albano, the "right" body, and this time, "the right brand" of  lens, 
okay?  

cheers,
frank
