Profile and Angles



Nikon D100

Seen at Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill.

He appears to be concentrating on something on a wall, but in reality, he was engrossed in a conversation with someone hidden from view.

(Note: cloned out the spot on the foreground wall this evening, as Steve R. suggested. It does look cleaner!)

Great photo!

All those crisscrossing angles and planes with light, rough-textured material, and in the middle of all this, at just the right point, is a real, NON-angular, human being - in dark, smooth-textured clothing no less.

It don't get much better than this! (well, at least for me - you guys know that I live and die for these kind of shape-texture-color compositions ;-)

If I could make just one suggestion - I think that cloning our (or healing brush) that small dark curved spot to the left of the guy - it looks like it could be the top of a plant poking out over the wall in the foreground, or mabe a crack int he wall that forms the 2nd plane into the photo - that would eliminate that little distraction from what is otherwise a very "clean" composition.

See my previous comment in Eric's photo of me wrt: leggy plants.

In this case, I agree with you that cloing out that little dark spot would make for a cleaner picture.

If I have time, I'll do it and re-post.

Steve, I took a few minutes this evening before dinner to clone out that dark patch. It does look cleaner! Thanks for the suggestion.
