Description "Then he said,
With his hands stretched high,
That his eyes only see...
A barbwire sky."

- - -

Yeah, I'm even tired of my own pictures. Not to mention that I don't have time for them anymore. I thought I'd take a break from posting concert shots.... but there's more to come.

I got my friend, Chris, to put his hand on the wire.

High ISO causing the grain. Added contrast to an over-exposed shot. Nothing too interesting.

Tell me what you think .

graphically, it works very well. But It seems to be still lacking something. I wish I knew what.

Maybe it doesn't have enough of an object. I was thinking if maybe there was a flag in the backround. That would be cool. I'm not sure. Maybe if I added some text to it. Thanks for the comment.

Needs a caption, probably something in a grungy font.

But I love it bare naked, too. @_@

you should be more generous with yourself. Except for the graininess, this is a really cool shot!

Haha, thanks. I know this might sound stupid, but I meant to add the grian. I set my ISO super high so this shot will look more "retro". I kind of like that look in some shots. But yeah, most people like the super clear and crisp shots.

no, i often like grain, i could see that u meant it- but i guess it separated the hand from the wire too much. yeah- if there were other midtones in the shot that could pick up the graininess, i think it would work better. sry i don't mean 2 be beating up on it, i kno u weren't rly asking 4 it on this 1. just some thoughts. *hopeful grin*

Yeah, I know what you mean, but there wasn't anything in the backround, which is sad. I think I might try it again at a different place. I don't know. But yeah, thanks for your opinion.

i would be ecxited to see another version! you could even do them w/ diff themes, like Mexican revolution, slave rebellions, Holocaust, etc. People would love that. They'd eat it up. ok well I would

Haha, yeah. There could be a lot of different themes. I don't want to over-use it though.

excellent composition, very powerful and effective.
There is a true, deep meaning in this shot.

I don't like the high contrast, but it's only my tastes. You know I'm more into subtle greyshades Anyway, this contrast fits the theme of this shot quite well.

Good job !

Haha, thanks . I normally don't like the high contrast/overly bright shot, but yeah, I thought it'd fit for this picture. Aannnd all the shots turned out kind of over-exposed, so I just worked with it, lol.

Haha, that would have been funny. I don't think my friend would have kept his hand there for very long.

ooh, strong, powerful, and a symbol of revolution. That's pretty fancy right there, especially in black and white. Good stuff!

It's got that old school punk rock feeling to it. I don't know. It's an okay picture...

hmmm I agree. It's a good picture, but it isn't one of your better ones.
