My Image Your View: Ophelia's mad scene
Jan 12, 2020 22:13:43 #
Hi, everyone. I'm offering up a shot I took of a student performance of Hamlet, given at a festival called Shakespeare at Winedale, an annual event held in a barn like structure modeled after an Elizabethan theater. Winedale is a little town in the Texas Hill Country, not far from the only slightly less little town of Round Top. This is the scene where Ophelia has a breakdown with the Queen, Hamlet's mother. I'm eager to see what you all can make of this.

Crop crop to the story. Why show me the upper part of the set? Crop out the curtain on left. Fill in the missing lower beam.
When cropped to the story it is a good shot. SOOC is not a gift from God, it is a challenge.
Yes, MichaelEBM, I like BW for this one... lots of gray tones color often distracts from a story.

Congratulations on winning last weeks challenge John.
Thank you so much for this weeks photo to work on. It was one of the most challenging ones I've done. Had a difficult time deciding on how the brightness/darkness should be for this scene. I went back and forth between color & B&W.

There was no color film at the time portrayed in this scene, so B&W was the natural choice for me.

Changed sections of the background in an attempt to focus attention on the actors (Actresses.)

I'm thinking back to a BW film
of the Marat Sade ... what if it
had been colorized ?
Don't care to discuss changes
I'd make to the original photo
cuz it's too major a discussion,
so just went and did my edits.
Guess it's not theatre now ...
more as if from cine.

I'm really impressed with the edits so far. I decided to go in a different direction. If you have PS, use it.

I think if Shakespeare was around he would like the results of this weeks contest.
