| I think this is a great shot but I think the arm is distracting. Just my opinion.7 |

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Wonderful cinematic aspect ratio and a great visual/title pun. The contrast profile is wonderful too - highlights and shadows dominating in different areas of the image as a consequence of the flare. The three people create quite a story and the pointing arm is highly communicative. As a viewer though, I feel this isn't a photograph that disappears revealing the moment; rather, this is a photograph that creates its status as a photograph in parallel with the moment. It is limited and bounded by the choices you have made. I should explain myself further - this is like a documentary image in a book, we are aware that the photographer was there but we are conscious that we are not (thus I feel like a 'meta-viewer'). The choice to keep the viewer at a distance and to not involve us in the image seems deliberate to me (I wonder whether it was to you).
Critical stuff: That central area of brightness on the opposite shore, whether natural or not, draws the eye a little too much. A swift bit of local darkening there would help me appreciate your image even more.
Overall: A lovely crafted image - one that made me think of ubique actually; not for how it looks but for his passion for photographs as artistic products rather than photography as an artistic process. |
