La femme sauvage, en repose

Alternate take, just because I want to.

And the bad thing is, I lost the neg years ago, this is scanned from a copy slide of a print. It was a 4x5... rats... I even tried to shoot it again. You can't go back... t

I'm assuming the original (sorry to hear that) was not as washed out and a bit more clear... if so.. Awesome shot, synergy, lines, pose I could go on. I say go back and try again, it's worth it.

I'd like to see this in B&W with little or no toning or with green instead of red. What's interesting to me is how the rocks above her are shaped to conform to her, and how she appears to be "marbling" embedded within the rock. I like the composition a lot; every square inch of the bordering image area seems well thought out. Your uneven border treatment makes for a beautiful flaw.

Since it was infrared, I printed her skin highlights as paperbase white (she had no tans lines, which infrared doesn't see anyway). The clouds, however, were printed too white and I never got to correct it before it was too late. I do have a 35mm version which was shot with a 24mm so it's perspective is different that this (135mm sironar on an old Pacemaker Crown Graphic). The granularity is exponentially greater as well. The image really is better in a neutral tone. Thanks for your appreciation... t
