John Ellis says:Maybe this is not to everyone's taste, but it ought to be. It is poetic: the b/w tonality helps in conveying the beauty and the strangeness of the shapes seen through the transparent membrane.
John Ellis says:B/w is the perfect medium to catch the nighttime feel of this location with its contrast of the shaded shelter and the lit area through the window. The water on the glass and the cobbles adds further atmosphere surrounding the kissing couple.
John Ellis says:This has echoes of documentary photography of the '70s and '80s - kids playing in their location. In this shot the 'GAP' sweatshirt does its own dating. The light plays usefully across the shot to provide contrast and highlight.
John Ellis says:There are two strong elements in this - the overall colour palette and the complexity of the way the glass is used within the photo. As a bonus, the skyline is a beautifully dreamy complement to the warm brown in the foreground.
John Ellis says:Silke said:
"Very nice distribution of characters on display! Each in their own compartment and a perfect example how well different frame aspect ratios can work when thoughtfully composed (in a split second?). Reminds me of a shadow box I had when I was a kid."
John Ellis says:Whatever one thinks of the gimmicky entrance with its gatekeeper, the glass is a gift for this instruction and a nice clean image wraps it up.
John Ellis says:The symmetry and the characters inevitably invite a comment such as the one I wrote:
"One can't help feeling that the two guys with shades are there to 'keep an eye' on things! Meanwhile lady boss runs the show via her phone."
John Ellis says:One of the shots going outside the narrow confines of glass, but to good effect using the shallower layer through the car windows to provide a cinemascope vision of the street beyond. The early morning light is well captured.
John Ellis says:One needs the ship, a bit of water and some of the town in order to be surprised, shocked even, by the woman's face through the transom porthole window. Even when the truth becomes apparent, the eerie effect remains. Nicely exposed and composed.
