This doesn't do it for me. Nothing exciting about the composition or lighting. I would do some focal contrast enhancement and the right side is way too dark. Needs, not a touch, tad, or whisker, of increased brightness, but a lot of increased brightness. And the wall next to the person's right side is way too bright. Needs burning. Did you spend any time with this image before posting. Have you printed it?
 
Really like this. Where was this taken? Reminds me of the old Raramuri women in Mexico sittiing in church doorways selling their little corn husk dolls. Nicely done!

Thank you Bill, the post is a scan of a photo taken years ago in Michoacan, México
 
a bit of separation of her face is a good thought but not a lot, I am not sure about the very heavy toning. this has some enormous potential and i think your almost there nice one.

Heiii!!! I really like this photo.

The sephia tone feels really fit for this photo. Really feels old, which fit with the subject (I meant it as a compliment).

I Assume that the tone is post-processing?

Reasonably good capture Vidau although I find the sepia effect a little bit overcooked.

Regards.

Thank you Tusk, I thought that only food can be overcooked :-)
Yeah, probably sounds confusing; it's just another way of saying something is overdone or overused. Still a good image though.

Certainly a captivating image. The tonal range, where not interrupted by the change in genre, speaks for itself. The subject, does not need an assist. Marginalized societies don't need a pinhole approach to documentation. This photo would have been best left in journalism, in black & white and without the vignette. Then it would have been riveting.

So, how about some current photos of indigenous folks in our dear neighbor country from the South?

Thank you Abiquiuense, maybe my tastes demerit the photo, the original is scanned color film with low quality.

I do not like it, it is a cliché very much helped by foreign photographers and some Mexican photographers recognized worldwide as Alvarez Bravo.

Thanks for that "dear neighbor" . For the expressions of your president and the promised wall I suppose there are few Americans who think like you :-)

Best Regards

Then, definitely a lateral genre, and upscale on IQ. Chevere.

A few of us, estadounidenses, deposit $27.00 in a special account dedicated to uprooting injustice, every once in a while. Meh (mientras tanto . . .)
I happen to like sepia. It's either black or white, and then there is "acafetadito." I left a "New Mexico Wall," nearby, in another forum on black and white, moments ago. Pleased if you'd peruse.

P.S.

Before Bravo, visit this.


This fellow traipsed through our pueblo. His photos of it are invaluable to our students, leaving behind, not only a glimpse of pueblo life, but a method to establish our connection to history and an identity.
