regarding the cropping: I don?t like pictures in portrait format. This is just my personal problem. But in this case it seems necessary to me. He is listening to something above him and I would leave as much space above as possible. There is also light in the upper part of windows which looks good. Possibly. It?s too small to see it correctly. :-)

Monitor calibration is tricky if you are using linux. One article on the subject: http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/02/07/2244242

Thanks for your thoughts Hansi. I've done some work on it today. Good points. I'm not sure about the callibration of the computer I'm on, it's set up for word processing so will wait abit before I float another attempt. I'll catch you tomorrow.

Hi Ian. thank you so much for your comments! Personally, I like your original cropping better I think as it seems to draw me to the face without the windows being too distracting. I did pull the image in photoshop and fiddle with the curves. You can get quite a few other dramatic looks. Another idea would be to go into levels and pull the gray slider far to the left. With that said, I like it just the way it is.

Thanks Stephan. Love the broadened windows there! Huge difference to the otherworldy factor but subtly so. Thought of Edward Hopper actually.

The shadow is great - the coiling cables and other details makes you wonder if there is some additional truth seen only there. I like including the top of the windows but the more square format is appealing too. I attach a chop-job just to give you an idea of an alternative approach.

chop is the word |

Uncropped as more interess to me. The windows are something to consider in the composition.
The colours, light and shadows are very good Ian, great work.

Hi Ian, exciting About. Below a variation on crop. Decided where to cut and didi it, then resized - disregarding it means 'distorting' reality - to 2:3 classic 35 mm full frame ratio.
Curves are difficult. Test by fooling around. I think I'd like to see more suggested detail in the dark areas - still like tar but with shapes in them - and some real hot spots of light somewhere (but then again, screens are screens and maybe it's got that already, I'm not just seeing here).
