Challenge:Conflict (Basic Editing I) Camera:Nikon D100 Location: Shipping and recieving at work in Albuquerque N.M. Date: Feb 24, 2004 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/100 Galleries:Emotive, Black and White Date Uploaded: Feb 24, 2004
One of the oldest ways we demonstrate our strengh.
I chose this as a conflict entry because the emotions could be focused to a single point within the image. Again, taking the color from the shot helped to give the image a gritty-edgy feel. a special thanks to S.J. and Paul for posing for me

Great composition, the crossed arms are excellent foreground material, and in the background, shallow DOF blurs but doesn't disguise the look of determination on his face. Black and white is absolutely the right choice.
Quite a few people seem to have similar ideas... but yours has a quality all its own. I think you captured the mood very well...your model's expression is perfect. I also like that the one model's tatoo actually balances the photo. I even like that one of the model's fingers is a bit dirty...just perfect! Your use of DOF is dead on for this image. Good luck!
