Photographer’s Note

I was surprised this one came out good. Initially, it was taken on Fuji NPS 160 but after rotting 3 months in my backpack, the colors came out really screwed.

Conversion to black & white using channel mixer

Philippe this is very unusual composition. In fact it breaks almost every rule of composition, and a few of exposure as well.
Despite that I really like it - or maybe I like it because it breaks the rules, and is a completely in-your-face and different photograph.
In which case: congratulations, it's great!

Dear Philippe,

Really nice B&W :) I haven't seen the color version, but I suppose it wouldn't be as good as B&W version you've posted here. I really like the tones - nothing got overexposed and sky came out really good. The composition is very nice as well - I love those bamboo leaves and the girl, looking somewhere in the distance.

Great job!

Best regards and please invite yourself to my small Trek Earth abode sometimes ;)

I think this photo could do with a little more work. I find the woman's shoulders and upper body to be a little dark. As a result she seems to blend into the wall. Try making her a little lighter with the dodge tool.

Thanks
