I like this a lot. I am new here at DPC and want more information about so many photographs. It would be great to read more about the technical aspects of this shot. Where was the zoom set - f-stop and shutter settings - existing light conditions and auxiliary lighting. Post processing steps.
Thanks for submitting this entry |

another fantastic result of using negative space to enhance the primary subject. The first glance at the thumbnail made me feel that by pushing the suit down to the black point, you had made the image uncomfortably arranged and I didn't like it.
Click on that thumbnail and this thing unfolds on the desktop.
Stunningly managed gradients and textures. Beautifully controlled whites. Those alone define the image as intentional, and thus begins the eye's journey into why.
the missing suit jacket becomes an implication. Something you expect to see but don't.
What a powerful counterpoint for the tragedy of his eye.
Totally brilliant and excellent in every way. I don't usually just look at an image just to look at it as long as I did for this one. I just sat and stared. I hope that says enough. |

ahhh, back to your favourite subject...and understandably so...
I love how you handle light, and the beautiful details in your grandfather...strange to see his coat disappear, and yet appropriate...
yes the space at the top makes him smaller, and perhaps more vulnerable, and certainly ties in with the need of voters to really see the 'negative' space, but I am struck by how this seems to cheat me...without the context of some information in the background his being there is enough, the top part could then be cropped by 1/5th or so, and then I am not wandering, for the missing eye beside the darkness is what grabs me first, but then the seeing eye is the one where the real tale is told...
knowing you have entered this shot leaves me wondering where your artistic choices in the composition are and where your competitive ones are, a shame really because I think you're portrait here is sublime...
I would certainly be proud to have taken this shot... |
