When I look at a shot like this I feel inspired. It's not flashy, it doesn't rely on Photoshop to process the hell out of it (like I seem to need to do often to score well on DPC), it speaks to me.
A good choice of DOF and a good POV make this a great shot. I'm not sure that I would have seen this shot as I walked by this location - that's a talent I don't yet have.
I like this. I like it even better cropped tighter on top so the fence on the left runs out of the picture instead of ending by pointing at the buildings beyond.
Doesn't bring forth Manet for me (title reference), but I find the image extremely compelling. Well visioned - excellently composed, toned, and thought out. Reminds me of e301 in that sense. The depth of field is wonderful and telling - seeing the blurry past, following through the frame to the present and the close at hand future. Beautifully conceived, an entire life story of sorts. you sold me. 10
brilliant .. love the dof and how it leads me to the man .. his age and posture and the graves in the background give a sadness to this image .. love the b&w process .. :)
