Maris, I didn't even need to see you did it!

I love that you print them.

Hi Clickma,

I like this shot, if you could elaborate your decision for the horizontal framing I would appreciate,

Cheers,

Hello Renato

The idea was to make this photo in the horizontal format from the beginning. This image needs space on the left side of the model. It would have been a very different picture, if I would have done it in portrait orientation.

With kind regards, stephan

I see that, Stephan. One of the very first things I've noted was the cut of the bottom line of the frame, passing over her fingers.
When there is a restrictive, or few "negative space" in the composition - negative space being the space in the scene which contains "nothing", or empty zones - I make the model cooperate to fit perfectly on the "cage" of the framing. You have probably had a even better result in this photo showing the hole hand, or cutting off completely. But in the end of the day it's up to you, as it's your photo, and taste. Nevertheless, I like the shot even if IMO the hands and knees could be part of the frame completely inside or outside, but not both or half-way. As I sad, maybe it's just me, you can see the point differently,

Best,

Renato

A sheet of film just processed last night. 8x10 Century 10a and 42cm Heliar, Arista 100 EDU at EI50 drum processed in L110 dil H for 9:00. Sometimes, although rarely, everything is perfect. The level of detail in this film is astounding.

This is technically beautiful. And compositionally provocative. I'm not sure why, but there is a hint of Picasso in the image. I think it is how her arm seems isolated from her body by her hair. It makes it look more of a profile than it is. This is an outstanding image!
