Kathleen, the real decisive moment in spite of the fact that the woman has her eyes closed, which makes the image more interesting. Good handling of the DOF being everything in focus. I made the verticals straight and darkened slightly the statue of the lion Posted: 07/02/2024 17:03:45
Isaac--I'm glad you mentioned the woman's closed eyes because I, too, think it adds interest. In this instance, capturing the decisive moment was the result of shooting lots of images and often just "shooting from the hip" as I was walking along. Posted: 07/20/2024 17:38:37
Kathleen - They have exactly the same expressions! You did a great job with the composition and the toning is interesting though I actually prefer the colors in the original. On my screen, the woman's face and the sculpture appear too bright -- not sure if it is the conversion to B&W? B Posted: 07/12/2024 13:43:50
Hi Bruce -- I often prefer b/w but I see your point about the original color version. The brightness issue may be due to the monitor on the old laptop I use not being quite accurate because it looked ok to me on there. Thanks for your nice comment. Posted: 07/20/2024 17:44:40
Nice POV and sharp observation. Great creativity and visual language to communicate is beautiful. I like B&W version. Great work. Posted: 07/17/2024 01:46:03

Kathleen I am a big fan of your work.
I really like that you have managed to capture the similarity between the woman and the figure in the foreground.
I agree with Isaac on the editing of the image.
