Black is as much a character in this image as the mysterious man at its top. Very powerful and cinematic, noir. The reflections of merely the orange lanterns and the entering light substantiate the whole, which whole is substantiated many times over here. Balance is adroitly obtained by the positioning of the reflections, the lanterns, the open window on the front left, the wall which leads to the silhouetted figure, that figure and the barely perceptible wall on the right. And they deserve enumeration. I'm mesmerized by that window. I want to read the book or see the movie. Absolutely terrific photograph.
Personal co-favorite of the challenge. |

When I first viewed this on my work monitor (lunch break, honest) I decided not to vote, but to look again on my calibrated home monitor. I still find myself conflicted. What I love - the sense of mystery, of another world, and the way it could come from any era; I especially love the mysterious, possibly nefarious figure on the bridge - fascinating. What I am not so keen on - the large area of black that carries no detail the I can discern. Nonetheless, a 7 from me. |
