Congratulations Steve on a well deserved ribbon.
I have a confession to make. I submitted a ticket on your image as I suspected a rule violation (probably my third or fourth ever) as the aspect ratio seemed to be different from most entries and the bricks seemed to be very level if it was captured by hand. I suspected a rotation and crop was achieved. Glad to see this wasn’t the case and it was just very well taken. Well done!
Oh, by the way, I gave this an 8 and my second highest vote for the challenge.

Well done Steve, and congrats once again. I had a feeling you were due to another ribbon soon. BTW, in regards to your comments on the photo... did you try bumping up the contrast setting a notch or two in camera under the monochrome camera profile settings and perhaps taking the brightness down one notch? I play around with those settings a lot myself, and for a minimal challenge entry I think the results would normally be better compared to a desaturation in software. I also use the color filters in camera to make certain aspects of the scene pop.
Personally, with this photo I think the contrast is just fine and added to the appeal of the HCB challenge. Your black point is in a good place when looking at the shadows and his shoes, you can see detail in his jeans and the whites oh his shirt have some detail in the creases etc. I think much more contrast would have brought out elements in the brick such as the patch job to his left that would have been a bit of distraction. As is your subject popped from the background and there is certainly still enough detail in the building/wall behind him to make it pleasing. It helps make it more of a "period" shot in my opinion. Congrats.
Dave
ETA: I just read Don's comment below mine so it appears we are in agreement that the contract level apparently worked well for this challenge in particular...so there you go. LOL.

Thanks. I was curious if that low contrast appearance may have actually helped for this challenge. |
