[Leica] Summer 2005

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Don,

Thank you very much for your comments and advices, I agree that a little
work burning and dodging could improve the general contrast and the picture,
but I only know do these things on a wet darkroom, digitally I've never
reach something so important and elemental on B&W as burning and dodging.

Thanks for your idea about to isolate the chair, it is really true that I'll
give a better atmosphere.

I appreciate very much your comments and your time, thanks again.

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Luis,
I believe that your first image is the stronger of the images:

On my monitor at least it is a little too gray.  I believe that if you
burn in the center sky down while increasing the contrast of the sky
there would be a stronger feeling of "storm".  At the same time I
believe that I would lighten some of the white caps and darken some of
the troughs to accentuate the wave pattern.

I find the image very compelling, just my two cents worth of thought.

I also find the image of the chair very interesting.

I believe that if it was cropped square to eliminate the
coast/habitation on the left side you would add to the sense of
displacement that the lone chair on the beach presents.

Good group of images.  Thanks for the view.
