Advertisement Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hi lmans, Take a look here Lady in Restaurant . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dkCambridgeshire Posted October 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2015 Might work better with a tighter crop … but, the lady's eyes are not sharp. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted October 30, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 30, 2015 I like it as it is... The diagonal is very strong and I like the two 'figures' in opposition. Sharp focus on the eyes and it wouldn't have that ethereal feel to it. She appears to be another world with her thoughts, 'sharp' and it would lose the very element that makes it interesting and thought provoking. It's also timeless... Thirties? Sixties during the fight against inequality..? The lack of focus reinforces the timelessness - it could have been a snatched photograph with any camera at all. Sharp and it would have been one of thousands of similar photographs... As I said, I like it. A lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted October 30, 2015 My intent was to bring in that 'timeless' feel. When was it shot...? I feel that black and white photography 'ages'.... in that the age itself is what brings out the interest in a photo. If I look at a nice, sharp shot....eyes sharp etc....it tells me it is from 'now'...but I feel that what truly makes black and white photography is the history that has passed and no longer is. jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted October 30, 2015 Share #5 Posted October 30, 2015 Exactly... to make a timeless image today requires that thought process... which is why I liked this photograph right from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
