Contemplation

beautiful use of soft focus. I knew there was something special about it, and then I read that it was film. It really looks it. It looks gritty and analog and real (even though it's all scanned into a computer now). he looks tired and strong at the same time. I like how there's a general sense of "construction", of building something, but no real specific information as to what or how. and lots of great diagonals! wonderful, wonderful use of light and shadow.

I love the painterly aspect of this. Your OOF background is fantastic. The only thing I don't like are those waterdrops. They're just too perfect and sharp. Except the top one. I like the top one. I suggest 5 minutes with a blow dryer and then take another photo... ;) see! I make constructive suggestions for how to improve photographs! hahaaha

that's blonde hair, right? and after that it becomes complete colorful abstraction. but it starts with a face observing, or rather ignoring, it all atop her red shoulders. And we only get to see through a tiny rip in the bag.

I've seen a similar technique from you before, but this is taken to an extreme, and just barely holding together as a photograph. That's what separates the mensetfire from the boyssetfire, you Chuck Yeager, you.

just a stunning image. I often like portraits of people's backs. It leaves us with a sense of mystery, and a sense of wanting more. I also know as an artist how hard it is to get the light and shadows right on a back to show the forms of bone and muscle there. This is perfect in that respect.

a word on composition. I like this composition, and it's highly subjective, but I will try to explain. I think the off-center composition without a background is *very* problematic and totally overused at DPC. The only time it works is when the subject interacts with the space. In this case, she is looking down into it, twisting her whole body toward it, though coyly enough she still hasn't managed to get there. It's also not a simplistic thirds composition. She is pushed to the extreme left. Almost but not quite out of bounds, like an excellent gymnast on the floor exercise.
