May be from bit left hand side... wud have done justice to this shot. in that case may be .. a lil space where the face touches to the upper portion of the hand could have enhanced the sil!!

Congrats on the award - amar kintu chobita sanghatik bhalo laageni - not bad, but not excellent either. Jei khutgulo chokhe laglo - too warm for my taste, slight tilt to the left, and, ektu beshi sajano.

Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:127014} 8/28/2007
Simple color palette, great contours in all their very sculpture-like look, and excellent details of that glass under those hard conditions! Most of the time I am inclined to prefer the ansolutely black silhouette in front of such a color of the background, but here I see that allowing some of the "plasticity" of the silhouette at its boundaries to the background to be seen, can also be very inviting for a look, as this really forms the silhouette in the 3rd dimension -the depth.

Excellent work except for some minor unfinished feel in composition. And BTW, could you perhaps continue the series with some more of the silhouette in front of the window (or whatever it is)?

Best wishes,

Nick

Avi     {K:67770} 8/28/2007
Dear Nick,

Thanks for such a delightful analysis and critic on this work. Actually, I felt the second one of the series, (http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1347227) was perhaps the best of the lot, because in it, I went closest to what I tried. The window of course is not geometrically perfect, and there were distractions here and there (like a dangling rope etc), which I tried to remove by a crop. That, in turn, affected the composition.

But the best part is the 'NOT absolute black silhouette' part, which you caught very well.

Thanks for all your wonderful insight and encouragement.

Cheers !!
Avi

Wow Avi! Well deserved award . . . the semi-mostly-silhouetted look gives the the depth of a sculpture but the beauty of the silhouette. Excellent color and form. Good stuff my friend!

Thanks, Erland !!


Ardalan Haddad   {K:15118} 9/17/2007
To my eyes, this shot is really dramatic with a deep sense of need for a savior...it's like someone looking for freedom...
It's also very symbolic...reflecting the fact that many of nowadays people are captured in a closed and hopeless times...

I value this shot A LOT...

Well Done!
Good on YOU...

Congratulations!
Ardalan...


Avi     {K:67770} 9/17/2007
Thanks, dear Ardalan. Actually, this was one of a series (you might want to see the others in my portfolio - they are one after another).

Thanks for your wonderful support !!
Cheers !
