Thank you, Christine and Frank.
To Frank I should point out that this is already a crop with more leaves
that I "removed". I see your point and perhaps I could re-process this
image in a different manner.
A message was passed to Galia and she returns her thanks.
Christine, you see, the background that you find interesting wasn't my
main subject - the light on the leaves were. Apparently I wasn't good
enough to convey that.
Being "back in a saddle" with my A 50/1.2 will evidently require certain
practice.
I really appreciate your comments, guys. I really do.

Hi Boris: I'm with Frank on this one. I'd like more dof and I'd
like it without the first set of cars. What interests me most in the
frame is the street, the whiteness of the buildings--maybe more
texture there too. The car is too prominent but not intriguing
enough. I do like the framing concept here though--it just needs a
more interesting subject to frame. Cheers, Christine

I must admit that I'm struggling with this one, Boris, and it's
hard to explain why (but I'll try).
I ~want~ to like it. I feel like I ~should~ like it. But for some
reason it's just not coming together.
I think it's a question of balance. The leaves are too prominent
both in terms of brightness and as a compositional element. They
just overpower the image.
Which is a shame because I really like the delicate background.
I don't know.
Maybe a crop that takes away a bit of the leaves and toning them
down a bit in brightness?
I think it's a really good photo but something's just not "coming
out" right for me. Feels like it should be much better.
Now, as for Galia, that young lady is ~seriously~ good! Both of her
shots are amazing. Please tell her that for me.
Cheers, frank

Boris PESO #16 - Nocturne
It's time for a picture.
So, the PESO below is shot with my trusty A 50/1.2 at f/1.2...

Have your say.
Also if you click on "Older post" you will find two more PESOs shot
and processed by Galia.
Cheers!
