Response to Bar Couple

from Tony Rowlett (rowlett@alaska.net)
The expressions are priceless. The motion bur adds life. The apparent age of the woman sets the photograph apart because I seldom associate the older generations with the bar scene (not that *I* hang out much at bars, either!). The wall behind reveals adequate brick detail to describe place. The bold blackness behind the gentleman draws my attention to him and his smile. Probably she had just struck an ironic realization which led both to a grin. The message is, anyone can have fun, not just young people. Touching photograph.

This one will be more difficult than most to print (for framing) as some local burning and dodging will be necessary to reveal details in the highlights and to preserve details in the shadows. I'd be curious to know how you proceed with this task. Would love to see this (and a lot of others I see on the web) in real life. This "pixel" business just can't show it all.
