		from hectortroy/Sean (2,280) on January 26, 2004 10:45:08 PM CST (2) Hi Eugenio, I really like composition of the photo. I also appreciate the great explanation of the processing. However, there are two things that I think could be improved. First, the image has a little too much grain for my taste. In particular, it is very difficult to see the womans face. Second, the scanning has caused fringing in the sky. Regards, Sean. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful

		from jandrade/Jose Paulo (37,683) on January 19, 2004 6:25:51 PM CST (4) Hi! This is a "historic" document. I liked the possibility to compare with your previous photo. Of course you can improve it a lot with PS but I like this style "raw-like". Jose Paulo Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from chungho/Ray (24,827) on January 19, 2004 6:37:28 AM CST (4) Eugenio, I like this kind of portrait too. Composition of pic is good. Grainy technical with sepia tone, this can show the feeling of memory. In this composition, I may try to clone out the tree at the top of pic, this is really a distraction. Also, I prefer adding the flash to this shot, this is helpful to show the face of model clearly. Anyway, this is a good trial. Keep going.

		from marionella/Marion (26,499) on January 19, 2004 3:08:01 AM CST (6) Very nice, Eugenio... I like the retro look of this... Yery interesting how you achieved that look. The composition is very good with that girl in the foreground... Maybe her face is a bit dark? Regards Marion Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from mtpsuper/Maria Teresa (40,702) on January 18, 2004 2:54:20 PM CST (9) Ciao Eugenio. This your photo deserves particular attention, because it's not a simple thing, neither a photo of an immediate impact. So, first of all I would like to examine the frame and the composition, which are surely good, typical of the dear photos that we all were (and still we are) used to take of a friend of someone that we love against a fine panorama; and I have to say that here the nice woman is well in pose respect the background. Then we have to examine the "effects" of the print, scanner, and sepia: and maybe all this process has caused an eccessive grainy effect on the image, and the loose of details on the background. I don't know if this is something that you should correct with PS, I suppose it is possible. But the strange thing is that the final effect of the image, even with this unusual sensation of perplexity, is anyway interesting and stimulating, and at least pleasant. Questa tua foto merita un'attenzione particolare, perchè non è una cosa semplice nè di impatto immediato. Così prima di tutto vorrei esaminare l'inquadratura e la composizione, sicuramente buone, tipiche delle care foto che tutti noi eravamo soliti fare (e facciamo ancora) ad un amico o a qualcuno che amiamo davanti ad un bel panorama; e devo dire che qui la donna graziosa è in posa bene rispetto allo sfondo Poi dobbiamo esaminare l’”effetto” di stampa, scanner, conversione in seppia: e forse tutto questo processo ha finito per causare un eccessivo effetto di granulosità dell’immagine, e la perdita di dettagli dello sfondo. Non so se questo è qualcosa che si possa correggere con PS, suppongo di sì. Ma la cosa strana è che l’effetto finale dell’immagine, perfino con questa insolita sensazione di perplessità, è comunque interessante e stimolante, ed in conclusione piacevole. Mi piacerebbe avere un pollicione rosso da darti in più per il coraggio a mettere una cosa sicuramente a rischio ed “esposta” ad ipotetiche discussioni.

But I have introduced this for two purposes that I have not explained, and I now try.First.:I want to compare it with a previous photo where it's possible to see the new constructions on the lake, in this photo the shore of the lake is clear of. Second : the reason is technical. This photo has been made with a high sensibility film and developed with a solution of development (HC110) particular for films to high sensibility, where the "nuisance" as effect was sought after. In fact they have also told me that this development was wasted for so low sensibility I would have owed "to throw " it up to 12000 asa. Granularity is not a defect but it is an effect and I haven't modified it using PS. Perhaps as you say well this photo it was for " old wolves of dark room." Come dici , sicuramente questa foto e a rischio di pollici rossi. Ma io l' ho presentata per due scopi che non ho spiegato, e provo ora. Il primo motivo e quella di paragonarla ad una foto precedente dove si vede le nuove costruzioni sul lago, in questa foto la riva del lago e sgombra. Il secondo motivo è tecnico, questa foto è stata fatta con pellicola ad alta sensibilità e sviluppata con una soluzione di sviluppo (HC110) particolare per pellicole ad alta sensibilità, dove la "grana" era ricercata come effetto. Infatti mi hanno detto anche che questo sviluppo era sprecato per cosi bassa sensibilità avrei dovuto "tirarla " fino a 12000 asa. La granulosità non è un difetto ma è un effetto e non l' ho levata con PS . Forse come dici bene questa foto era per " vecchi lupi di camera oscura". Reply  From mtpsuper/Maria Teresa (40,702) on January 18, 2004 3:40:31 PM CST Non so granchè delle "vecchie" tecniche, ma so che l'effetto granuloso era (ed è) qualcosa di specifico ed intenzionale, parlavo di "eccessivo", e forse questo eccesso, che forse sciupa più che altro lo sfondo, credo sia dovuto soprattutto alla fase di scannerizzazione. Sono sicura che nell'originale si vede nella misura "giusta". Ari-ciao. Reply		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful

		from rvwv/Ray (11,803) on January 18, 2004 3:21:36 AM CST (11) Interesting photo Eugenio. 1973, wow. Very nice composition, and interesting backdrop to take a portrait. Love the lines in the background. Some problems with the photo as mentioned before but considering the age it is a good job. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from rjohnson1/Robert (8,598) on January 18, 2004 2:23:07 AM CST (11) You must have used Kodak HC110 at full strength to push ISO (ASA as it was referred to back then) to 3200 from 800. The graininess is very apparent. Nice picture with a most interesting background for a portrait of a person. If only the brightness of the person was just brighter. A most interesting photograph.

		from ali/Ali (7,302) on January 17, 2004 8:18:28 PM CST (12) Hi Eugenio, i can call it a memento pic. It has a very good toning. I'd rather a faster shutter speed in order to decrease the light at the background and a fill flash for brighting up her face. Still it's a good memorial pic.
