Taken on my lunch hour. This fellow is working in his office on the second story of an old adobe about half a block from where I work. I'm standing on a balcony looking across the courtyard. I confess that I cloned out the apple core he was holding in his hand.
That's too bad he was not holding a whole apple - that would have made for a cool selective desat. Love all the white space and the framing of the window. It's just awesome that the lighting on the man is subtle.
Simple yet so effective! Makes me wonder what he is thinking about... like he's a recluse that cannot leave the house and yet yearns for the outside... glad there's no apple core :-)
I like the simple, bold geometric composition of the rectangle of the window placed off center in the white square of wall. I think the square crop works really well here. The duotone treatment and tones are lovely, too.
I love the soft look of this. Works well with the brightness of the building. This works great with the square crop too. I think I may have liked the apple core, but to each his (or her) own.
