Passing by an emergency treatment center on the way back from taking pictures at the pier. I'd appreciate your comments.

I enjoy the mystery/voyeurism of this shot (not that I peep in windows). It makes the viewer form a story in the imagination.

Rob, this is a really good image. Only constructive comment I have would be to adjust the cropping to include some of the plants at the bottom of the frame. Looks like you have a 5x7 or 6x4 crop right now, an 8x10 would allow you to keep the nicely textured blinds, while including more material at the bottom. Right now, I'm just left wondering what the stuff is at the bottom of the frame. Excellent shot though, you got the light perfect and the subject material certainly draws your viewer into the everyday drama that is going on. ~g

The changes are really good. The grain you added gives it a photo-journalistic feel, and the sharpness of the man, and the soft focus of the woman speak volumes. You have done an excellent job and a very difficult image that conveys many emotions.

My first impression (without reading your note first) was someone was hurting – their heart broken or body broken. This is one of those images that keeps me looking – wondering about the story. The framing of the window adds to the graphic composition – rectangles and lines framing the story. Nice job.

Rob, now knowing that this is an emergency treatment center, as I mentioned in the message I sent you, I DO think this is a VERY powerful image. Her face, looking downward, the man, presumably the physician standing so powerfully above her, You can SEE her intimidation and fear. This is an amazing capture, and I think it is very sensitive of you to have blurred her face a bit to make her unrecognizable, yet keep the intensity of the photo. Very well done.

That's also what I thought. I dodged the face a bit and worked the hair color. I didn't want to change it too much though. Maybe add some more grain too.

I commented before the explanation! I was pretty close about the doctor visit. Perhaps the woman might not want her face showing however...just a thought.

This is VERY interesting. What is it?? A woman at a doctor's visit? A man and wife in their home?? Very neat shot!
