Nice idea but too dark for my personal taste, I can't make out enough detail.

MaggieMac said 1002 days ago:

moody and mysterious - love the textures in this .. the rain on the brick and the glow of the street lamps gives this photo a classic feeling.

ThelmaBlizzard said 1002 days ago:

It's soooo dark.
All 5's anyways for effort. :)

Love the feel of this. Very mysterious and peaceful in a way. Well done.

Very dark, but really, does every photo really need to avoid being very dark? Depends on what you're going for. :-) And I have a feeling you captured exactly what you wanted here. I like the mystery.

High marks for the first 4 categories. A slightly lower score for image quality because there does appear to be a general lack of sharpness and/or some maybe unintended blurriness. Great overall photo!

Thank you all! It is dark, indeed. In fact it is a shot of a woman dressed in black, who was walking along a dark alley, on a rainy night.
The part with little detail is a wall that was covered with leaves, but not lit.
As for technical details:
Camera: Nikon F100,
Film: Ilford XP2 Super 400 ISO.
Printed on: Ilford Multigrade IV RC De Luxe
Not scanned (I do not own a decent one) but photographed with a Nikon D70s.

excellent

Cool image. I would bet the ratings are taking a bit of a hit because it's sooo dark on the left. I could see a comp with most of that side gone making the image stronger. But I still like it. Very film noir.

mdellacorte said 1000 days ago:

@ArneG: Thanks!.
@panhandlin: I take your point, but perhaps if I cropped it, the sense of mystery might be lost.

Difficult night shot. Almost no light, but I think you saw the picture and pressed the shutter because the person has an umbrella. Otherwise it wouldn't have any impact.Excellent eye.

@JNMourao: Thank you!

RichardFord said 997 days ago:

Nice. I believe I have seen this shot before... I forget by whom though.

RichardFord said 997 days ago:

Ah - that explains it!
