I like the pose and the scene, but the subject is too centered for my tastes. I think I might have placed here in the lower-left corner area so as to use her shadow and incorporate the background textures.

I like your atmosphere and toning here, Rebecca! You've created a mood with both the selection of b/w and the background scene the woman appears to be walking to. I agree with James if you'd left a little more room on the right for her to "walk into" and complete her shadow it would be perfect. Well done!
Dave.

I see what you mean, and you're right. I wish I'd taken time to get back and look more and try that. Oh well.. this will remind me next time. Thank you for stopping in and helping.


James Cook   {K:36680} 3/8/2007
Oh, sure, no problem. I tend to be pretty trigger happy when it comes to the camera. I usually shoot several shots of some subject even if I think the first one is great. Didn't always work so well when I shot film.

lloks like JC has solved your initial problem... now all you have to do is get back there

The choice of B/W makes this an excellent photo. Del.

Great pov Rebecca and good choice of tonal range. I like the pose in this "desert" place. The shadow is well seen..
Congrats

I hate hate hate hate hate hate centered images (but you probably already know that) Then again... it is not always about me... though I tend to think it should be.

(ps... nice shot... just a bit toooooooo centered for me)


Jonathan Charles   {K:4823} 10/20/2007
This powerful image connects with the "explorer myth" - our instinct to set out on an unknown journey. The centred composition IMHO has a specific effect: to remove any sense of movement (which may be why Jim doesn't like it) but in this photo it is just right - to make time stand still, as you feel when poised to undertake some scary action (like diving off a high board). So although the shadow points the way she will be going the picture tells us she is still considering whether to set out, telling herself "It is just a short walk" but knowing it may take all her life.


Rebecca Raybon   {K:26631} 10/21/2007
I like the way you think. :) I tend to shoot instinctively many times, to capture a mood. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
