Description

I've been absent for a long time; I didn't really go out to shoot pictures anymore.
But I wanted to show you this photo I made in Rome. It was really a crowded place in the centre of Rome, so I had very little time for this one.

I want to make clear that it isn't posed. I don't know that woman.

Camera: Olympus C-765 UZ

My first thought was the girl should have been off centre, but with the border and the title it works well.
You said you didnt know her, were you stalking her long?

Beutiful black and white!!!....Wonderful capture!!!
Excellent tonalities!....I may have cropped a little from the top up to the top of the fence...minor point and only my taste.
Very well done!!

Cheers everybody! I didn't expect so many comments.

@Madanapale: I agree on the cropping; I think I'm gonna edit it.

This is a great composition, no doubt! (thumbup).

Only minor remark is that it is just a tiny bit tilted. At least if you follow the upper border line. It is not even. There is also a small (but very small) portion of something showing above the monument/wall on the viewers left. I would suggest that you fix the leaning or crop that missing milimiter... :p

Sorry, moserArtist, but I think that's nonsense. I appreciate that you took a close look at my work, though.

The fountain is just a bit titled; it's an ancient structure, so it's logical that it isn't perfectly straight. I think I corrected the photo the right way.



I'll add the original photo for comparison.

Really nice capture Bas!

Very convincing!
I would still have cropped a tiny portion more from top but if you think it is nonsense it is your call.

It does not really matter. It is a very good composition (thumbup)!

Well i must say i love this photo. I think it holds a lot of meaning and has many subtle undertones. So why ruin it with a massive title right underneath the pic. It stops me thinking and forces serenity into my mind. So personally i think the title has had little though and ruins the photo, or if you must have it please make it smaller. I only crit because i love the photo so much...max score though and on my fave list

Fantastic shot... and if the structure is tilted, it's tilted... would one adjust the horizon for the tower at Piza? *chuckle*

This is a great shot. I love the composition and the overall mood. I hope you reconsider not getting out to shoot more!!

they look like friends
funky funky work!
only the framing makes it alsmost look like a snapshot somehow... don't like that, but the rest's pretty cool. &the slightly tilted compo adds to the idea... maybe i had tried to lighten the shadows on the right a little, ecause they bring in a new element that isn't really necessairy in my oppinion
(thumbup)!
