two worlds

By joseluissc    
I believe the old man has no relation with the old lady...
Look how he is absent. Is in another world. Maybe is thinking in life.
He is all dressed in black. A sign of mourning. Usual manner from this place and people.
I've captured this photography when taking other of the clothes hanger in a village of fishermen.

Extremely good shot, works so well in B&W, I don't want to see the colour version (my usual yardstick for how well the conversion went).

It is somewhat marred by the wonky horizon. If you were going for an arty approach, you really needed to lean it more, neared 45 degrees.

I'm not so sure about the detachment, He's certainly watching the lady.

You absolutely right, Dave!

Yes, I want to. could you give me some advise? To read about, for instance?
One of the battles I have it's with the backgrounds.


Quote:He's certainly watching the lady.

Not sure too : -)
I spent a morning here on this location. And if I remember, a saw this same scenario without the lady. The man remained absent.

me neither! : -)

Thank you Dave for your comments,

The horizon is easy to straighten Jose Luis, - I assume you have some editing software, - Photoshop for example? Depending on the version, it will have a straighten tool, or you can use the crop tool, and use the corners to tilt the crop. The wall behind the lady would be a reference for the horizon.

Yes. But I think it works fine without here. Don't you?
One thing with straighten is the some details (clothes) I'd lose on the right side.
Distortion here maybe works well / best (in terms to don't lose any extreme right details).

Thank you Willie,

Dave,
It's time to laugh at myself! lol

When I read your comment (every time), I saw the word "learn" instead of "lean."

Well... here is the note and the correction in any case. Now that I realized, was for some good laughs!
I think the sense of my interpretation was not very distorted.

cheers!
