robertwright Posted November 21, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2006 Thats a very subtle photograph that gets better the more you look- you would like the essays by ben lifson, over at http://www.rawworkflow.com/making_pictures/01/index.html he talks about linear and painterly representation, this appears to hav both to my eye, the face is drawn very linearly, very definite, but the way it is back lit somewhat makes it dissolve into painterly forms somewhat. Also like how the small elements on the right add some balance. so simple and so strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinh Posted November 21, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 21, 2006 Such intense, intelligent eyes your niece has. The plainness of the background makes her presence pop out of the photo. There she is.....already quite an individual woman who sees the world her way. You should somehow let her and her parents know you posted her photo here and let her read the comments. That would show her how much of a loving uncle you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmires Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks, everyone, for the kind remarks. Robert, thanks for the link. That is a very good article, with a lot of important points. Franklin, She certainly does see the world her own way. A very bright girl. Cheers, David.

fotografr Posted November 22, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love the pose and her self-confident look. On my monitor, the color balance looks off--there's a bit of green cast. How does this correction look to you? Welcome, dear visitor!

davidmires Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted November 22, 2006 Yes, this looks better. My wife mentioned a green cast when she viewed the print, but I haven't tried to correct it yet. She also says I'm a bit color-blind... I should just stick to B+W maybe... I can assure you, however, that my niece's shirt was not black ;-) Thanks for the input.

billh Posted November 23, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 23, 2006 Very nice photo, and good correction too Brent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADP Posted November 23, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2006 Very nice photograph indeed. I saw the green cast too, and think the touched up version is an improvement, although there is still some heavy green visble on her throat. It might be possible to work that out with better PS skills than I have, but in any case, it doesn't detract from what is a very nice portrait.

robertwright Posted November 24, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 24, 2006 I can see both 'renderings" of the color as correct, depending. When I saw the first one, the green one, I responded to it because it had a very ambient look. The corrected one is cleaner in a lot of aspects, look at the blue of the seatback, it really pops in the corrected version.-Still, I like the 'wrong" one because it reminds me of a diner, it is evocative.

mitchell Posted November 25, 2006 Share #13 Posted November 25, 2006 A great shot. Beautiful engaged girl. I noticed the green cast as well. Brent I always respect your work and oponions. But, while your version improves the cast, for me, it makes the seat back and window blinds too harsh. On my monitor, the face has become brighter too. All these differences take away some of the softness and intimacy of the original. I don't know how to fix it. !:^) I think making Brent's version a little darker would help. Best, Mitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmires Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks for the advice everyone. This kind of discussion is what makes the photo forum valuable, IMO. After reading the further comments regarding the green cast, and looking at Brent's corrected version, I think that the best result is somewhere in-between. How does this look? Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest lykoudos Posted November 25, 2006 Share #15 Posted November 25, 2006 Hello David, Perfect, brilliant admission in the motive, in the perspective and composition. I am inspired. Is it taken up with a Summilux 50mm? Greeting Wolfgang (MP grey hammertone, 2,8/28; 1,4/50; 2/90) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmires Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share #16 Posted November 25, 2006 Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the comment. This was taken with the new 28mm/2.8 ASPH and M8 Best regards, David.

albert Posted November 25, 2006 Share #18 Posted November 25, 2006 I think it is a pretty nice photograph too.....but my brain keeps telling me that people are going a bit overboard because it was taken with The M8. If it were C-LUX or D2 the level of gah-gahness would be lower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were C-LUX or D2 the level of gah-gahness would be lower. Considering I, for one, had no idea what equipment this photograph was made with until the 16th post clarified that (made less than 1/2 an hour ago BTW), I'd say you're wrong. Also, I don't see any "gah-gahness" anywhere in this thread, only thoughtful comments about the photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
