An excellent example of Artistic Foreshortening.
On another note, your comments are a bit ambiguous; you say this is a "conversion", although you are not a big fan of them. However, that's what you did, Yes?
And, you say, "simplicity rules"; you mean the pose not the conversion, Yes?
Also, you say, "That's what film is for". For what?
Either way, a nice shot.
Yes and yes! Yes I don't like conversions and that's exactly what I did, I converted plain ole color digi to a B&W. Most of the conversions I see really suck. I just hope mine doesn't suck to badly!
And B&W film is for doing B&W photography. Everything else is just a poor excuse!!!
By simplicity I mean nothing to distract the viewer. No crack, no bush, no boobs etc. hopefully I won't have to defend that it really IS a woman in there!! When you look you see the subject, nothing else!
Tom, thanks for taking the time to read my short rant and giving it a thoughtful consideration and response.
