This is the finest image I could find in this challenge (I rated it '7').
Its quiet retro charm (the ornate wrought iron pot holder, the potted palm so reminiscent of turn-of-the-century photographs, the chosen focal length etc.) is complimented by the -relative- modesty of the portrait, considering a contemporary context. Nevertheless, the understated sensuality of this capture is as riveting as is the manner of the photo, so sensitized to its inherently specific visual and emotional qualities.
Despite the extreme wide format and minor compositional challenges which appear to have been accepted into the picture unmended or unaddressed (the redundant curvature of the deck, bottom right; the proximity of objects to the margins), the photo can, IMO, be easily viewed as a formal portrait alongside those found in the archives of photographic history and art.
On a technical note, the exposure for highlights, here, is examplary. |
I am more than a little honored that you think so highly of this photo. I am new to photography and was perhaps a little on the lucky side here. I will try not to let it go to my head and if I ever get discouraged by any of my less well received shots, I'll think back to this and take heart. Thank you!
By the way, your profile is very eloquent. I read it twice and quoted from it in a conversation the very next day. You are a talented wordsmith. |

| great composition, would have liked to the lights and darks pushed just a little more to give the image more impact. |

| It seems just a little unsharp, but I love the composition, the textures, and the lines. |

| Sleeping is time passing, for me is not passing when I am sleeping, but when I am working, playing, eating, good food, in sport, it is passing :) |
