Subject: [Leica] B&W Power or Pastel color Power?

 

I show the picture in both versions, I like both, I like very much the  

tonal rendition of the old Zeiss Sonnar Jena 2/85mm, both in B&W and  

Color

 

This is a lovely young girl....

 

In B&W

Lluis mon ami remember you did ask! :-)

 

I see this as nothing more than a technical illustration of how the lens
records an exposure. Even in your own words you say.>>> I like very much the

Followed by.. >> This is a lovely young girl....<<<<<<  She is that and
probably with lots of photo potential if you hadn't cut her arms off? :-(

If we look at this as a complete photograph illustrating a young girl doing
something, then you missed the photographic point as a story telling photo.
Simply because she is obviously reaching for something with her right hand
and it's cut off! :-( As is her left hand.

 

However, AS A TECHNICAL photograph illustrating the >>>> Zeiss Sonnar Jena
2/85mm,<<<< ability of recording, then this is a successful exposure in both
colour and monochrome.

 

So what you have here is a successful technical illustration photograph on
the one hand, the lens. And a missed human photo moment on the other.

 

If you can figure this out please let me know! :-)
