Ben (Downing) said 1 year ago:
nice! I very much enjoy the depth of this image, and also the way the curve bends your eye right and away, very good.

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 1 year ago:
Yes, agree w/ Ben. Maybe just a little lower and to the right a bit and you could see both eyes a little better.
andreas (Andréas Saudemont) added a critique 1 year ago:
I would also consider shooting at the girl's eye level rather than going for low angle.
Flip (Philip) said 1 year ago:
Thanks for your comments. I was actually taking a picture of someone to the girl's left when she walked up to the door. I wish I could have taken a couple more from different perspectives.
Lindy (Lindy G) added a critique 1 year ago:
I like this even with the angle it is at .. there is so much character to this photo and love the texture of the gate but the little girl is captivating,makes you wonder what caught her attention..
Flip (Philip) said 1 year ago:
Thanks Lindy. I shot several other photos of this girl over the course of a couple days, and she brought the same intrigue to every one.

love the simplicity and texture here
joka (Johannes Kapp) said 1 year ago:
like msdedi + colours
Ben (Downing) said 1 year ago:
thank-you... I think texture was what made me take the image but the symbolism is what makes me like it.
Flip (Philip) said 1 year ago:
I think this is my favorite pic you have on Vazaar. I love that it says made in the U.S.A. on it.
Ben (Downing) said 1 year ago:

@pouhou
you mean the left upper side is too dark?
there is a big tree spending a lot of shadow :-)
VernonTrent (Vernon Trent) said 1 year ago:
thanks everybody :-)
pouhou (Tony LUJIEN) said 1 year ago:
yes, thanks to you i really like your work
Ben (Downing) said 1 year ago:
Vernon, well done, no I don't think the overall is too dark it makes me look harder and think more... so was this shot large format, tilt shift, f64, or multiple exposures? I am really curious as to the depth of field from what seems to be a very close subject.
VernonTrent (Vernon Trent) said 1 year ago:
hi ben
normal shot, nothing special.
here's the exif data:
canon 350d with ef-s 10-22@10
iso 100, f/3.5 1/80s
processing is a simple b/w conversion with a blue filter and high contrast. normally, the car is blue, with the blue filter in b/w mode you get the white :-)
then my special toning (carbon-lith split tone sepia/blue)
cheers
v.t.

I didn't make a focal point and don't really want one. I took this photo as an abstract reflection and I really wanted the moodiness of the photo to show through more than anything. I was also hoping that it would be a little on the creepy side as well.
Ben (Downing) added a critique 1 year ago:
cary I seem to enjoy the fact that there is no focal point, it makes the picture seem very uneasy or unsettling much like the topic of American Consumerism.
kamaki (Christophe) added a critique 1 year ago:
Multi windows impressions and reflections
well done !maybe the light in up right (to blank in this atmosphere)
chrislaw2007 added a critique 1 year ago:
I like this very much. As to focal point, I think that the eyes of the mannequin on the right draw me right in, and very eerily so! I definitely find this creepy Cary! Well Done!

love this photo - specially the little comment on the poster. The way the human mind instantly replaces her face with the one of the poster - so great, good one and the most undisturbing use of selective saturation i've seen!
Ben (Downing) said 1 year ago:
thanks jeninja, it's much appreciated... that's my favorite part too.

nice work... many people make blurry images on accident, but this looks very intentional and it works wonderfully with the "moving subway". very good.
oliverchank (Oliver Chank) said 1 year ago:
Thank you Ben... In fact, when you are stuck in a bus with a camera for 45 minutes, you make a lot of experiments ;). I only had my point and shoot back then, but this photograph really makes me believe that it's not about the camera one owns, it's all about the idea a photographer can have in mind.
Jenseye (Jen) said 1 year ago:
Very nice work! I feel the movement.
and very true...it's in the photograhers mind not the camera they own.

Great DOF, great pic
good shot misu. I love the framing, and the matching tone between the tunic and the camel is very nice.
