hey,that looks great...before i was actually thinking of eventually making it a b/w but i now see that sepia is perfect.
As far as the saturation goes.....i actually decreased it before i loaded it on here..i think my monitor might be out of whack. Earlier today i checked it on a different computer at school and saw that it was completely oversaturated and dark...but the picture took up the whole screen...so i just figured it was a result of the cheap low resolution monitor they had. But now i'm home and it looks fine.....any ideas on a fix for this?
Thanks for your comment by the way and i can't say that i am aware of Sam Shepard--is he an actual author or just mainly playwrights?
Thanks for the welcome George, i'll make sure to check out your portfolio next
Take care

This, and your other images, suggest that you have a fine poetic sensitivity. This one is very complex and provocative, suggestive--I think--of a hard-edged but romantic abandonement. (I am reminded of the plays of Sam Shepard. Do you know his work?) From a purely graphic standpoint, though, the high contrast and intense saturation might be overpowering its symbolism. You might try softening it a bit if that's to your taste. I went all the way with the version below that I offer only as a suggestion.
I really came to your site to commend you on the good suggestions you made to Rafi Springmann about his "Six Candles." I seconded your motion on his site. Coming here, I was delighted to find Rafi himself had responded in a characteristically open and generous manner.
Hope you continue to post--and to comment. A good eye and an open mind is always welcome.
Best regards,
--George

This is our first, but hopefully not last meeting on the pages of "Usefilm", Mr. Gonzalez. I went over your entire portfolio twice. Not too difficult, because there were only three photos and yet difficult because the photos were all good and hard to select one to comment on. I finally settled on this one because I liked the atmosphere you captured in it. Conveying a concept via a photo is one of the most difficult tasks in photography and you did it exceptionally well. From your photos I learned that you were from the US. I passsed through your country twice and learned to love it. Usefilm members are usually friedly and polite to each other, but the site is not a mutual admiration club. Critiques are accepted (and sometimes followed)as well as acclaims and your constructive critique is no exception. I will, however add that I was standing in the middle of an audience and had very little options for manipulations. I attach a photo I took with no flash and in which I cropped out the air conditioner. Actually I took two, but one was so slow it blured the photo.
You are, of course, invited to read my bio and pay further visits to my portfolio.
I the meantime I thank you for your constructive critique about my "Six candles."
Best regards,
Dr. Rafael (Rafi for future communications) Springmann

hmmm....I agree about the light if I had taken the picture for the purpose of the textures and color....BUT in this case, I took the photo because of the light.....i tried to portray a sense of hope/freedom as the light from outside was shining through the cold dark jail cell.
Thanks for the comment

I really enjoy the colors in this photo...the light sparkling off the wall is great as well! The only thing I would suggest would be to tone down the bright light coming in, as it can take away from the beauty of what the photo is Great work!
