The only light came from one window about 8 to 9 feet away. I had the D-Lux 7 set for 400 ISO and used the Program mode for exposure. The black and white conversion came in PSE using the Leica regular monochrome setting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eawriter Posted October 8, 2024 Share #4708 Posted October 8, 2024 I plan to submit one of these to a Portrait competition this Friday. Which would you choose? These are film images, shot on an MP, 50 or 75mm (didn't take notes), with Ilford Delta 400. I made 8x10 darkroom prints of them, which look much better than these scans of the negatives.

If you look at the most liked images of women here on the forum, many have one hand clamped on an ear. It’s a very common look, one I struggle to get to grips with (pardon the pun). If nothing else, it’s a distraction too far. However, you should choose really, select the one that touches you most and ignore comments like mine.

erl Posted October 8, 2024 Share #4710 Posted October 8, 2024 I would choose the second one as the first looks like she is lifting her head off. However I think the PP sharpening has been over done. The apparent grain probably does not show up in your darkroom prints. I'm being critical only because you wanted criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted October 8, 2024 Share #4711 Posted October 8, 2024 Of the two, I would recommend the second portrait. The body pose in the first portrait is closed-off and a little wooden and defensive, which could put a viewer off. The pose in the second portrait is more open with the model's hair being moved away from her face. The model's head being tilted slightly down gives an air of her being a little guarded but less defensive than the first. It gives the idea of a model who's new to modelling and isn't quite sure of her poses yet but the strong eye contact and expression pull the viewer into the picture. Pete.

Sparkassenkunde Posted October 8, 2024 Share #4712 Posted October 8, 2024 (edited) To me the first one is more interesting and I think the processing with her face being the brightest part of the image is overall better. If possible, I would suggest a tighter crop right under the end of her lovely long hair. In my opinion it could work in a 1x1 version. The second picture is also appealing and here I would have cropped away about 1/3 left and right of her face. I can’t say if this could be reprinted in the darkroom in good quality but would have tried if I had the negative in my darkroom. Both pictures are of course absolutely worth a print! Thank you for sharing and giving us the chance to give our remarks! Edited October 8, 2024 by Sparkassenkunde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 8, 2024 Share #4713 Posted October 8, 2024 The first one: she looks like a human with a real personality rather than a model posing for the camera. Neither of my interpretations may be true, of course, but I have a difficulty with portraits of models* that reveal nothing of the person. So many photos of women (usually, but not always by men) just show the photographer's projection of their idealised young woman. * here I mean those who have been engaged specifically to pose for the camera, either as a professional or an amateur. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thank you to everyone who responded. Good comments and observations. By my tally, the first image got four votes and the second got three. Very close. I think I'll submit the first photo; I agree with the comment that the "hand in hair" pose is overdone. A little more background: The young lady in the photo works at a gym I go to several times a week. She's not a model and has never posed for a photographer. I talk with her, briefly, every time I go in, and have always thought she'd be a great portrait subject. So I finally asked her if we could do a portrait session, and she immediately said yes. One more detail: She's a natural redhead and has a beautiful mane of rich, red hair, which doesn't really come across in black and white 😉. I did take color photos of her, and they're striking, but I can't post them here because I didn't take them with a Leica. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
