Black and white film, rocks, a child and natural light. Such a simple yet wonderful idea :)

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from phildeman/Phil (5,617) Send mail to this user on October 9, 2004 10:07:46 PM CDT (1) Early critique

I find this photograph to be very good. IMO, it's technically flawless. I love the use of B&W. So, by all means continue to shoot B&W. The girl's pose is just fine. However, I am a little undecisive on the girl's facial expression. She is looking away and appears a little unhappy. So for me, this is distracting. Otherwise, this is a very good photo. -Phil-

I like it. The crossed legs & arms and tilted head give this good symmetry. A little too much contrast - IMO.

what do i think about it ? i think: stop using continuously b/w and blurring background in portrait. you are right, it's a wonderful picture...but it's kinda trite. i see that her leg are crisscross, it would be cool to search a shadow like that wherever and take there the pic. i'm sure that there are millions of way to do a new portrait. experiment ! i hope you will check my portfolio, critiques are welcomed
