The black and white is nice, but the only emotion is the strong concentration, it lacks the strong emotion for me, plus the angle is just safe- nothing dynamic here...
Thanks for sharing
Hi,
I understand.
The following may seem like \"excuses\" to some, but is only an \"explanation\" offered as part of a discussion of this image and what it represents. A discussion is often better from having different points of view (POV) and so take it as a friendly conversation or dialog...not as a refutation or an argument. In short, all of the following is offered in a friendly tone of voice.
From one POV, I see the images the same way. So your observations are not \"incorrect\" or \"wrong\" and I don\'t find them surprising either.
But, that is one POV.
That is like taking only one \"frame\" from a movie. Some \"frames\" or images have very different \"emotions\" and \"expressions\" and even \"POVs\" too. IF not, the entire movie/film would be one endless shot with only one \"note\" and so pretty boring too.
These images are the \"counterpoint\" to some of the earlier images I posted.
These are intended to \"add some base\" to the soup. The \"spice\" and \"flavor\" then better comes out in the mix with more \"unusual\" images/notes/flavors. Otherwise, the entire \"soup\" has one taste \"note.\"
That is the first time I have used a \"soup\" metaphor with photography!
The \"concentration\" is what these images are all about.
Some images of pianists are actually very \"stiff\" and \"impassive\" and without emotion...naturally...as the pianist is in a certain \"state\" during a performance. That is \"part\" of the range of emotions one sees as the concert pianist performs. In short, they don\'t all \"look alike\" at all moments and so we can expect some to show more overt emotion, while others (possibly most) show very little or none.
I know what you mean by the \"angle\" not being \"dynamic\" but....some images are designed for \"non-dynamic\" purposes and intended use. This particular POV is one of many possibilities I see/saw....just one \"facet\" in the whole...so to speak.
Thanks for adding your impression.
