I like the length you got right there.

Yeah, it's just on the border but it's more interesting than weird.

Well I was trying to get somebody to trade me a nice and cheap RR out of pity
but thanks!

Here are Sri and Sofia at the pool. Shot with my 1933 6.5x9 Kodak Recomar 18 on Efke PL 25, developed in Rodinal. This is, I guess, a bit of a self portrait as well, considering the ridiculous shadow.

And here is another, including shadow...

[r.e.]

Harrumph - "Critiques should only be offered if requested by the original poster." From the top of this forum. I don't recall the poster asking.

Personally I like it. He looks a bit like a man out of time. The shoes are the one element that isn't, but really stand out from the rest of his clothes. It makes him even more of an anachronism.

Maybe you should read the whole exchange, including the comments that I made on two other photographs that Kip Praslowicz contributed to this thread, and his responses, before you launch into harrumphing/telling other people what they can and can't say.

[r.e.]

I didn't say you couldn't. I personally thought it was rude. My opinion counts not at all so I'm sure you won't let it bother you.

I think that you wrote that without having read the discussion about all three photographs and that this is a classic example of taking comments out of context. Furthermore, if you think that your opinion doesn't count for anything, what is the point in giving it, let alone upbraiding others for expressing theirs, especially when the person that you are upbraiding has been rather specific in admiring the work of the photographer that you have decided to "defend"? Meanwhile, I think that Mr. Praslowicz knows exactly what he is doing and that he doesn't need you running interference for him.

Here's the bottom line. You took my comments out of context and you had no idea what you were talking about.
