This is a very interesting photo, especially having given us a little of the backround. This photo came out very well despite your problems with your lens. The textures seem almost feelable. Sure hope everything turns out ok. You're friend was a good sport to have his photo taken at such a serious time. Good work mon ami.

Hugo, sorry about the confusion. My brother-in-law is the one coming back from an illness, not me - I'm really just fine. I changed the (too) short description to avoid further mistakes.
As for the picture - I shot this with the camera resting on my thigh, sitting next to him. I was experimenting candid shooting with this 20mm lens - incredible DOF, and the 400 ISO chromogenic film. The lens I had bought through eBay revealed itself defective and wouldn't close from 2.8 (that's another l-o-n-g story) so almost all of my roll is pure waste. In this case, it seemed to me that something had worked out. The way he is lying, with his head moving upward toward light, the angles drawn by the shadows and the hedge toward his throat, all contributed I felt to the theme of a fight for resurrection.

Th is is an unusual perspective. I like the shadow on the face. A great powerful picture. Don.

Hi Christian, I already wondered where (and how) you'd been, didn't know about your illness, and hope you feel better soon. Good to hear from you, though, and I see you haven't lost your touch in creating very ingenious and intriguing images.
Obviously, the composition is not quite what one would expect, but the intriguing thing is, that this does not affect the quality of this shot, nor it's appeal. Maybe unusual, but quite effective. I wonder what the reason behind it is, I for one would not have come up with this solution. Very intriguing.
Good tones, and a very fitting sepia tone.
Cheers,
Hugo

Salut Christan
De nouveau ce feeling d'être au cinéma!
On se demande où était le photographe pour pouvoir avoir cette vue/angle?
Il y en a beaucoup de tension, bravo!
Amitiés
Franz

Exceptional presentation, but I think it fits the theme very well! He keeps his fingers crossed, showing that he is still very uncertain about the future. A touching image - makes one think of all those around you who are fighting for their health ...
