ook this photo of a good friend of mine. many thanks to him for letting me. thought this one more Dramatic and eye catching than the color version. what ya think?
I agree with Davide. They are very different images. In the color version, I like the slightly upturned face. To my mind, that portrays a somewhat hopeful, almost anxious feeling. A very well executed low-key portrait. In this black and white, I find it to be a very comfortable image. He seems cheerful and at peace. To Davide's point, it's almost as though he has engaged the viewer in a story. Reminds me of a neighbor's dad, when I was very young. We would gather around and listen to him read stories in his deep, resonant voice. This image is a portal, for me, into a younger age. Again, the low-key treatment is very good. In this black and white version, the detail on the shadow side reveals great character.
Hi! this one, look more toughtful, everything in this shot, make me think to his background, stories, the contrast on the deep lines on his face, together with the B/W,give a strong dramatic feel of intimacy... the color version, portrait a friend... this one, portrait what is inside a friend!
