2 months of photography and mostly shooting inanimate objects. how telling of his personality! Now i make the attempt to capture human subjects, though these first tries will be awful..

a better crop, in my mind, can be found on my site for those interested.

Not awful at all.

Honestly I like the other crop better.
What does this one look like in black and white?

BTW people are much much harder - it's an area I often only dare tread when I'm invited or it's a public event of some sort.

gracias calvin, josie, and paul.

i agree, paul. the other crop captures more with less. I tried B+W but was wary of removing color from her and thus confusing the focus. i don't know what i'm doing!

I would not have posted the image if her face were visible. the problem is, what interested me was the scene as it was . it seems to me that once you get permision from the subject you are no longer capturing whatever was interesting in the first place. Very tricky.

Oh, yes, I agree...capture the scene as it is, as if you are invisable.

CSB,

I tossed it into the editor and put the B/W Conversion plugin on with a Tri-X film tonal response.
The result is GREAT with this cropping , it tells a story of lost mobility with the woman, the bench and the car.

I'd post it - but it's your pic not mine.

I just sent you a gmail invite, if you accept it I could send the result there.

yep, you've convinced me. this works much better than the color version.
It definitely does something different than the cropped version.

cool! a collaboration!

Now it tells the story of the loss of mobility in a mobile society, without the distractions of color.
I think the attention is drawn even tighter on the subject.
What do you think?
