Little Chairs Photo

Photographer’s Note

Continuing with this theme, this photo was taken at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. These are the chairs that represents each of the persons that died that day. In the front you can see smaller chairs for the kids that died. it was really sad to see that. The chair are in place where the building was standing.
I hope you'll like this photo.

spooky, dramatic atmosphere you have achieved here, daniel. the rhythm of the chairs and shadows is pronounced. i can almost hear pulsating atonic music as i watch this image. i find it right in the spirit of your series. TFS.

have you tried boosting the contrast on this one? not sure if it's feasible, but i would try to bring out more "whites" and "blacks" in this image in postprocessing. but it would have to be done on the largest foto file possible (the original). in my experience, in TE size, b&w corrections can lead to significant loss of detail.

Hi Daniel,
Love this perspective, and the way you ensured the tops of the chairs draw a line on the upper part.
Also optimum choice of B/W.
Well done!
Best regards,
Bea

Interesting and well taken picture, Daniel. I like the diagonal you found and the many shadows. B&w fits perfectly.

Hey Daniel,
Really artistic shot! The B/W does wonders here too. Your shot is a fitting tribute to to the Bombing memorial. Well done.

Hi Daniel,

Interesting repetitive motive. The shadows add interest in the composition and the B&W works just fine to convey the sad mood of this place.

Regards,

Flavia

Hello Daniel! Perhaps more dramatic than your other shot of the chairs, but I like both. B&W really emphasises textures and shapes, and it suits well the sad mood of the series. I love the triangular perspective you have chosen.
Good work! TFS and best regards,
Inés
