Awesome Hannes. I'm completely surprised this didn't ribbon, it was one of my top picks. Absolutely stupendous black and white piece, congratulations on the top 10 finish!
really wonderful! great great clean cut processing. with such a dynamic photo... fancy processing is not need, the simple conversion to black and white is quite perfect. i really enjoy this. congrats on your high finish :)
Fantastic subject: so unique.If I had to offer any "what I would have done" comment, I think it would be that a tighter crop on the right might have been a better option... I know that you would have had to sacrifice the gorgeous Celtic Knot design on the fabric then, but that would have made the fletcher a wee bit more Primary. Hmm...but I like it as it is too. 9
Nice 1st impression :: Don't like that the framing cuts off his feet - especially with nothing gained on top :: Image has a crispness that's quite nice, but the whites are blown to the point of detracting overall :: Great subject choice <<8>>
He feels a little crowded on the left. Really like the b&w conversion - gives us the sense of an earlier time. A white border would really add to that, I think. Nice job burning in the corners to shrink the space.
Wonderful image! Great feel to it and the b&w treatment is great. I really like that he is not looking at the camera. For some reason if he had been I think some of the strength would have been lost. 8 for now but I might be back. Well done.
