stuny Posted July 13, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2006 David - though I like the subject, setting, framing and focus I think it needs to be lightened just a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted July 13, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2006 David, interesting contrast between this guy's surroundings and those of the geologist in a previous post. I hadn't noticed the title until I came to wonder what he did for a living - then the open door and the darkness beyond fell into place. Very good.

burkey Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted July 14, 2006 Stuart and John - thanks for the comments. Stuart - it may well be a bit heavy, I have a tendency towards heavy prints. I'll probably print out another print tomorrow on my 2200. Stuart - my wife picked up on the dark background before I did. His sugar house is very important to him, especially in his retirement, so it seemed like a natural environment for the shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted July 14, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 14, 2006 David, Another good environmental portrait. What a great way to retire! Not too dark on my good monitor. Like the light on his forehead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddh Posted July 14, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2006 Expression, light and tonal range are exquisite. No too dark on a calibrated Mac monitor. Thanks for showing. P.S. did you ever finish that book about black and white classic people/street photos you were working on a few years back (2001). Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkey Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted July 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Daniel - thanks for the comments. Book still inworks but I found out yesterday that a series of the portraits are going on long term loan for exhibit in one of the Norris Cotton Cancer Treatment Centers here in New England. William - I appreciate the comments. Thanks. It was an enjoyable session with the subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djm Posted July 14, 2006 Share #11 Posted July 14, 2006 i think he looks a little akward with the shorter focal lengths. i'd zoom it in a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telewatt Posted July 14, 2006 Share #12 Posted July 14, 2006 big shot, I like it, but I do not like the "format".. in 24/36mm it would be "bigger".. Jan ...I could not find much pictures I like in this format, this is "my" problem..there is something missing....mostly "harmony" I think! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
