TOTALLY Superb critique Paul!!! THANK YOU!!!!

And yes.... the definition on the original Scala (600ASA on 35mm!) tranny is AWESOME.... scanners just cannot handle the contrast range..... even without compression

((

Best Regards, Mark

This is a very dark image and I understand why it is not getting much attention. It is very difficult to see in the thumbnail.

This is hardly a flaw however. Indeed, the dark tonality adds much to the image.

Time is central in this image. There is no motion or movement. This portrait is a pause and a moment of reflection for the subject and a moment captured for the viewer. The single natural light source and deep dark shadows are reminiscent of an earlier era of photography. When I opened this image I initially thought it was taken with a large format camera.

There are wonderful and subtle textures in the darkness. Enough to give depth to the image, but subtle enough not to distract.

I am a big fan of deep, dark pictures. I must confess though that there is no definition between the jacket, hat and the background. Yet I doubt that this would occur on a print. I am fairly certain that this is the result of a 35 mm negative being scanned and then compressed.
