Thinking Of You, a photo from Jawa Barat, Java

Photographer's Note

Sleepy afternoon.
Its third shot (pls see the 1st-2nd pic before, at the same theme "an essay of life itself").

No postpro at PC. All candid, no pre setup, no flash, no gimmick, took by F4 Nikon and 85 mm lens.
I would like happy if you drop a comment about this pics.

Very good composition for hard subject.
I don't want to see others technical componets of your picture, the emotion I feel is stong enough.

A haunting photograph. The unusual composition - with the hand being central and the face to the side - is very effective. Given these are candid shots, this is a remarkable essay.

It is really difficult to say what says more about the situatian - the face or the hand. I guess the hand. Breathtaking photo. Thank you.

I think I don't care whoever he is and where the photo was taken. When a pic makes imagination running so far, reality can be disappointing. The very narrow framing, added to the BW medium, make it once again full of emotion. I wonder if it would not have been much more dramatic (if possible !) by taking off the face.

Hantu. It's a very strong dramatic photo, much more than the others. But is it just art or there is a story behind? I would like to know, so please add some info about how, when, who?
I like the face in the dark. It's very interesting.

Series ini bagus bangat mas! I love the strong contrast and the composition of this. The dejected look on the man's face is amazing. A very, very cool well executed shot. Di mana kamu ambil foto ini?

Hey, Phantom Sea kamu kerja di fotography di Jakarta?

... cool name by the way. Do you know my friend East Wind (another cool Indo name)? He's a fotographer there, used to work for Jakarta magazine.

This is a very good shot. Your best shot so far (imo). The composition is very appropiate for the theme and the BW post pro certainly worked. Congratulations.

it is a really touching photo, all those black and white contrasts.. the face in the dark and those bright bars with the hand... really touching... the composition is really good, nothing to add... really powerful picture!
