I think this is an example of the esence of photography: a play of light, shadows, rhythm, and a guy on a bicycle. Very beautiful!

hyperopia

I see this fost-focusing technique as a way of peeling the meanings and interpretations from a photo to reach to the image. See, for example, in "archetype", all the information about the building is removed, and all I get to see is the shape and geometry, which is enough for a pleasant experience, it's a nice new way at looking at the interaction of the building with the space (although, in this particular case, the space is the sky).

Not here. In this case, this photo, I think, is a failure. I can't see anything interesting, pleasant, or engaging in the shape, colour, or even message, that will make this photo become an image. Too little thought and passion and imagination has gone into producing this thing, hence it offers too little.

I leave the door open, and go to look if I am suffering from hyperopia.

So, who's the guy on the photo? It can't be a church figure, it has a beard. It looks more like the European scientists from the XIX century.

Nice choice of a lens, distortion helps a lot.

Yes, this brings back memories... But, do they hold the stick (or whatever that knitting needle is called) in such a way? I wish I could see a bit more of what she's making. Nice placement of hands, nice control of light, good conversion to black and white with a tone.

Imaginge a socket and adults shouting DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER THERE!, now that's a memory I can share. Eating bolts, not.
Good depth, good shaprness, good texture, but the light is to strong, to harsh, it hurts.

Good use of grain, very good use of it.
