Title: Old loading Crane B&W
Post by: RobReuthal on December 31, 2009, 08:18:21 am

This old beauty I´ve taken in "Osthafen Frankfurt/Main" , it works yet everyday despite he looks so rotten.

I like it very much, but I can't think of anything unique or insightful to say about it.  The texture you've brought out in the wood really makes this for me.

I like it, too. And when Mike says he likes something, I often don't add my two pfennig, unless I have something I would like to change. If you pressed me to suggest an improvement, I might say it would be nice to have a bit more detail in the deepest shadows. But that isn't at all necessary, and if it spoiled the lovely, grim, solid mood you have now, I would go back to this print. The framing is just right. 


Very nice; nothing wrong!

Rob:  My way of working is this.  If I like an image and don't have any suggestions to 'improve' it, I'll simply say so.  If I like or don't like an image but have an opinion about how it might be changed, I'll add that. If an image doesn't do anything for me and I don't have any suggestions, I simply don't say anything.  Just because I don't like it doesn't mean that everyone else has to dislike it too!    

Mike.

I specially like the tones in this one, there is a great work with the B&W there.
