I had a good time looking at this image. AT first, my right brain enjoyed the color, texture, & mood. But then I noticed that thing in her hair & my left brain staged a coup d'etat. So, now all I can see is that thing. That started me looking very closely & now I can see what appears to be writing on the R edge, near her shoulder & I am thinking of theatre posters, subway walls, etc. Thanks for the fun! Two realities in one.
I love this. the grainy treatment works very well, although the silhouette is interesting enough on its own that a straight toned image would have also been a strong image.
The blue tone was a perfect selection for this image and I absolutely love the elegance. Her position gives wonderful completion to this stunning photo. What an amazing job you did with this!
This is quite a beautiful shot- the outward appearance is a bit fuzzy adn grainy, and there is mystery in the undefined shape of the subject. Two parts really struck me while viewing this photo. The tone of the blues is fantastic and perfectly controls the light and dark of the photo making the arm and hand the focal point. Also the silhouette- or line rather of the parasol and girl creates a subconsciously beautiful shape and just right negative space.
