We meet again, Meester Bond... er... Posthumous! Welcome back to the Critique Zone.
Interesting shot - not a classic of your style I would say, but you are one of the few I have seen who has managed to inject some real contrast and richness into the b/w - Kudos for that.
Technically: Not a lot to say, its obviously very sound, so only opinion remains. I did think initially that you could have gone for a narrower DoF, but then it occurs to me that you wanted to show the 'ruins', so that wouldn't help.
Artistically: Classic bit of framing and rule of thirds, nice light and dark etc. If I had one criticism, it would be that I would like to see a little more of the runined model - maybe just far enough across the windowsill to see both elbows and enjoy the triangular geometry you would achieve, but that it just personal taste.
Nice shot, good story but (for me) not really up there with your best work. Get back out there dammit!
Happy hunting,
Frank. |
