Great Shot Jon. I think the only subtle things that you could have done differently were about balance; the crop and where the light drops off etc are flawless (except for a little 'noise' at the bottom in the middle which is either a reflection off your trousers or perhaps your...erm...never mind)

Anyhoo the balance thing: if your fingers were more level (specifically the e in love) and the lighting were more even between your hands, the image would have a very symmetrical and appealing look (I know...that's a b**ch in basic editing). I think this has a good shot a being a saleable print now that you can edit until your heart's content.

well done.

Very nice shot, great lighting and excellent composition. Surely a ribbon or I'll eat my sporran. 10

Errr

Looks like I'll be having Sporran and Chips this evening

Crying shame this didnt finish MUCH highter

I'm thinking DPC stands more and more for Digital Photography for Calenders.

Fan of Cape Fear? :-)

Lovely! I'm a big fan of the male form in photography... ;)

Inky B & W, well lit, Emotional but static, the posing of the model with his hands crossed and head down takes what would be a nice shot and puts it in ribbon land. well done, my only 10

Nice very Social documentary journalistic. 7

Nicely done black and white portrait. Would like to see a tiny bit more outline of the top of the head. Lighting on the hands is perfect.

Powerful image, great lighting, pose and composition.

So Beautiful.10

Powerful image....lighting it from above and converting to B/W has added to it`s impact
05/14/2004 12:10:33 AM
very bold, powerful image. i like it. I'm thinking maybe crop out some of the bottom, an awful lot of negative space. very nice work.

Pretty good pic... good job.

I like the composition and the lighting very much. I wish that the letters were a little bigger and the buttons on the pants didn't reflect so much.
05/13/2004 02:49:54 AM
Good shot; haunting lighting. Maybe would have cropped more off the bottom of the shot.
05/12/2004 08:55:34 PM
I like the photograph, but it doesn't really depict the opposites of love and hate. It depicts the different words. The shot is technically a good one...I like the framing, the pose, and the lighting (maybe just a tad dark).
05/12/2004 11:52:43 AM
Wow great shot. This is my favorite so far. This will end up in the top three for sure. The shadows are great as well as the general idea. - 9

My second run through the challenge images and I've re-evaluated this image. I've now made it joint top with one other image.

This is a very strong image indeed, the lighting especially gives it power.

Congrats

... when love and hate collide ... powerful stuff .
05/12/2004 10:40:35 AM
good black and white
05/12/2004 09:19:39 AM
maybe love written on an open hand?
05/12/2004 03:56:53 AM
this is great... one of my favs of the challenge
05/12/2004 03:49:04 AM
Philosophically speaking, I think 'love' should have an upper hand ;)
I like this shot very much.

Beautiful. One of my favorites. Nice contrast. Good DOF. I really like. I'm a B&W freak and this is one of the best digital representations of black and white photography I've seen. It just never seems to have the contrast and tonality of film, but you have it here. 10
