 for the be square in november side challenge

just loving Ecce_Signum's use of grain .. so i thought i'd give it a go .. i'm such a learner .. doesnt even come close .. ;)

i did the grain in photoshop ..
this is without ..


after a couple of comments just wanted to say the image was created from combining two photos .. one of the guy with his reflection in the mirror .. and another photo of the gym taken from outside looking in thru the window of the equipment ..

The merge is seamless and I suspect the view through the window adds much interest. There's certainly no question about context here. insteps said it well when he called the piece "an abstraction of the gym workout". Very nice use of grain.

I like it with simulated film grain. Your photograph is complex, has a lot of detail, and the grain unifies the layers. It's an abstraction of the gym workout.

The grain is completing very well the man's hardship work

disorienting, due to the reflections, which is a good thing :) lots to look at

So much more than a bit of grain going on here Roz. I'm guessing your shooting through the window into a mirror? (so many good reflection shots in this SC). In my mind the guy is peering over his spectacles giving you s look that says 'don't photograph me whilst I feel like this). I think this would be too busy as anything other than B&W and the grain adds more to the scene (I can almost smell the sweat).

And thanks for the nod re grain! I've enjoyed this side challenge and especially playing with some of my less used 'lenses'.

If Escher had put people into his images he might have come up with something like this. I prefer this grainy version to the other.
