Response to Test - First Posting to this Forum

from Allan Engelhardt (allane@cybaea.com)

I like the tension between the straight lines of the wall and the curves of the people (the woman especially). The reflection/shadow on the wall is nice: perhaps it could be emphasised in printing or digitally?

My problem with the image is that it seems to lack context or a story. If you hadn't told us where the image was taken, I would have been completely lost: two people looking at a dirty wall?

Maybe try further away to emphasise the scale and a more perpendicular angle to get rid of some of the stone in the forground?? But I fear it would still look too much like a holiday snapshot. (I once saw a similar picture taken from a very high posistion. That "worked" for me: any chance you could rent a crane an try it out :-) ?)

Or perhaps get in close (and wide-angle?) so you can read the text. Have the couple point or something. Add one or both faces for human interest. It could work?
