what a quiet and stunningly good photo - I remember this when I first went through, but on reviewing the entries I am amazed at how dramatic and emotive this is - 10
I've seen several other images with this type of "no highlights" editing. I think it works ok with this shot, although I wonder what having some brighter whites would do to it. It remeinds me of an old photo, which may be your intent. Composition and square crop really suits it.
I really enjoy this but, find myself wishing for a bit more contrast, or at least some actual white whites...love the comp and the moment though, nice catch.
oh what a tender photo - love the subject and the framing
processing kills this for me. I can see squashing your whites in the photo to bring out the subject more - but this just ends up lacking tonal range and contrast. A reprocessed version I'd give you a 7. This is great work -
