 PostLuminous Award WINNER!
this could be in Ansel's textbook series, such a great example of zone & control
it also evokes the feeling of his Silverton, Colorado image very nicely |

| Thank you all for your comments. They were greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Bear_Music. Knowing your expertise in AA, your comments were better than a ribbon. Thanks for validating my effort. Maybe someone will pick it up for a book. (I just had another photo of mine selected by our Historical Society for the cover of their Bicentennial book. Would be nice to have this image in one also.) |

| The final tally is a poor reflection of the quality of this photo, especially when the Adams-like properties are so excellent. |

| I think the things in the window distract the eye from the overall photo. |

| This is an excellent B&W. The reflections in the window draw you in because you cannot determine exactly what they are. |

Of all the images entered in this challenge, this is by FAR the purest expression of Zone System. The image could be used in a textbook to illustrate ZS principles. You also have EXCELLENT raking light, and consequently great richness of textural detail. The details visible through the window, in particular, are absolutely spot-on in showing the concept of bringing out information from the deep shadows. In other words, from a technical perspective you have absolutely nailed what Ansel was about.
Aesthetically, the image is not so spot-on. It's well-composed and well executed, but it doesn't carry a lot of emotive power. Not every image has to BE emotive, of course, but still it's a missing element. I would not expect this image to ribbon, but if it doesn't do very well I'll be quite disappointed. |
