My negative fell on the floor and got scratched up pretty bad. I was pissed. but I liked the picture, and I kind of like it a little "rough" as well. Anyway, comments welcome.
Thanks for the comments everyone. And yes, I thought the scratches added to the mood as well, obviously, a few others didn't think so. I made an 11 x 14 print of this in the darkroom, and it looks awesome with the scratches and all. Perhaps I should scan that in and show it....anyway, Mike, I scanned this particular frame by simply laying it on my flatbed scanner and closing the lid. It's the only way I have to scan things at home, so it works. peace out.
The tilted framing of the shot,the angle of view,the position of the model at the edge of the chair,the harsh lighting,all convey 'tension' to me.The scratches quite merge with the general mood of the pic imo.
I hate it when that happens! anyway, it looks like a great picture. the lighting and pose are great, and the angle is really cool. I think the way you shown it to us with the sides of the negative is very cool. get her to pose for it again!
