Hey guys, just curious to see what you all think about some of my work. Any feedback would be great. Thanks :)

I really like portrait and the one of the creek the best, care to share your setup?

[la.triglia]

Very good. I like very much quality of printing (resulted tonalities). Are you following “Zone system?
Instead I do not understand the unfocused legs in the portrait. Are these volunteered; why?

I think the look you achieved in the Creek photo is wonderful and unusual, with such a remarkable transition from fully sharp to an extremely soft focused surround. Is the lens in the portrait the same? That too I think is a great looking result. I too am very curious to learn more of your setup and how you achieved such special images.
Any more??
Best,
Larry
Those two pictures would be very appropriate to view in the "Galli Style" thread and would add to the thread content nicely.

one possible variation

one possible variation

I have a version printed almost like this that has been toned in selenium with ilford warmtone paper.

For my setup, I use a zone VI 8x10 with a rodenstock 240mm lens. I do follow the zone system, as I'm still learning. Currently a student in photography. Thank you for the feedback everyone :)

There is no specific reason that the legs are out of focus, mostly due because I did not have enough light to stop down any more given my already slow shutter speed. I probably could have tried to correct this with the front standard, but I'm content with my results.
