Thanks Angelo for all the words you wrote to me. This picture is scanned from a straight contactprint witout any correction, so the final correction in contrast as needed and sugegsted, will be done in the final print. Of course, next time i will wipe out the dust from the scans...
An interesting environmental portrait you have here. The craftsman is busy at work and very concentrated, so psychologically we are immediately drawn to his task. What is he doing with such intent?
The slight motion blur is fine: it shows that some action is going on. I also like the lighting, which is natural.
One thing that might improve may be a boost in contrast - a different grade of paper, perhaps?
One thing that you may be able to improve is the quality of the scanning. There are a lot of scratches and dust marks. In a real print, you would retouch the print. So in this case, of a digital presentation, why not use Photoshop to retouch those little blemishes out?
In questa perņ la sfocatura non rende giustizia all'azione. con la focheggiatura sulle mani del maestro liutaio la foto avrebbe raggiunto livelli di gradimento altissimi.
