Bench With a View

Hi Deb -- For a DPC challenge, I think you may be right about the lack of "WOW", but then a lot of the time the weather in Brussels lacks "WOW" (cold and gray), and there's not much you can do about that! For me, the shot sort of tails off to dark at the top. I wonder if a more even light on the cathedral would help. Also, did you try this in b&w? Sometimes these shots on gray days (believe me, we have plenty of them where I live, as you well know) do a lot better in b&w than in color.

I really like it that you caught the guy on the bench. This becomes a very cerebral street photography shot.

Excellent portrait -- especially for shooting blind. The processing is excellent, too, and I really like the textures.

One thing bothers me a bit. Did she really have such a difference in color between the skin tones in her face and in her neck? That really jumped out at me. If that's the way she was, that's fine. Otherwise I'd try to tone down the contrast between these two areas. 8) My opinion is worth exactly what you're paying for it.

Interesting take on minimalism. Was the guy there in the original shot or did you insert him? Just curious. 8)
