The look of each person on the image, makes it great. :)
He looks at her. She is thinking and not looking. The woman in the center is playing pokemon. The three women in the back sees something strange at a higher position to the right.

A fine capture with interesting subject matter, detail, and tonal range - but I can't see how blue toning adds further improvement?

Thanks Kirk,

I suppose it's only personal with things like toning, you may well be right. I wasn't trying to improve things, necessarily, just that there are so many different ways to alter images with Silver Efex that it's difficult to know when to stop!! Anyway here it is no toned.
1000 ASA 1/60 @ 1.8.
Thanks for your interesting comments and posts:thumbup:

Cheers,
Gandolfi.

About ICHBINSpunktDE’s post from two days ago …

I found the first (vertical) picture uninteresting, in part because of the blown highlights at the top (too much whitewash; not enough soot!) ;)

The second is more interesting, but the looming, empty black shadow in the right foreground (and in other dark areas, though less so) distracts me mightily (too much soot; not enough whitewash!—my eyes skid over these parts of the frame) ;)

The third picture is compositionally more assured—in a traditional way—and with greater detail and texture in dark (sooty!) areas. More detail assists in getting and holding my old-fogey attention. ;)

The a7R II has a phenomenal dynamic range and it is disappointing to not see a gorgeously-full tonal range in its output (I am assuming Raw originals—if not, all bets are off!). And the sharpening—did I mention the sharpening?

This is my opinion, nothing more, and worth what you paid for it, ICHBINSpunktDE!

It is so very sad to see the level of abject poverty in the Netherlands—so many young people forced to parade about in worn, torn denim!

Perhaps we in Australia should start collecting all the old (but not torn) jeans no longer fashionable here to send over to you; it’s a heart-rending situation! :cry:


Nice tonality in this one BTW!
