This, former spaceman, I hope you don't mind me saying, is a serious return to your devastatingly best form. The various elements of the picture plane work together beautifully and harmoniously. That gorgeous softness of film enhances the dreaminess and you have captured a wonderful expression that leaves us wondering where her mind is at with that direct gaze. Super work.

Christoph, I´m not sure if "subtext" could be substituted with meta or even less pretentious "meaning" --if that is the case, then we are down to the basic problem of communication- the sender-- receiver interaction ,  the tools applied and if the signal intended---here: the subtext -- is transmitted.  In our case the photographic tools  sometimes behave as intended, sometimes not... and then the receiver: if I have a short glimpse at the thoughts of --say #stray cat or #Rog with their encyclopedic  knowledge of photographic history, pop history, art in general and and... added the cultural trenches to many sides, then the interference of the " Wetzlar guys" --don´t even think of the Tokyo guys-- who try to get into the photographers head and tele control what these  do seems manageable  to me...  I forgot who said (😟) : there is nothing worse than a sharp picture of a blurry idea.... So let's work on the idea and deal with the technical stuff anyway-- it is fun after all... ( don't know if that got through... ) 

K.

IMHO the question (of the Wetzlar or Tokyo or California guys) is one of pattern recognition in its widest sense: Scan in all pictures of "HCB", let the machine learn the compositorial aspects, the applicable grayscale and depth of field etc. Repeat for pictures of "Trees". Repeat for "Portraits". Repeat for: "insert subtext here" . Computers already can compose music that sounds so much like, say, Bach, that even experts cannot distinguish. You just have to select the subtext and run around with the camera. You may chose to look through the viewfinder and press the button when the red light appears - or you may let the algorithm do that cumbersome stuff... brave new world here we come 😪. And then we haven't even started to consider the pp-possibilities...
