Gaze

I have had precious little time to print these days, so little that it's depressing. But about a week ago I managed to squeeze a couple of hours in and decided to print an old favorite, one I've only done in inkjet and lith before, but never standard silver gelatin. Happy to have made this one print, at least.

Shot was made in 2008, and to this day I haven't been able to figure out what he's looking at.

Thanks for peeking,

Stunning print.
 
Terrific shot Thomas and your use of the limited DOF adds so much to your photo.
 
Thanks folks.Andy, I really appreciate that. I tried very hard with this print. Max - ouch! :blink: You got me good there. There is actually more of his arm in the negative. But I cropped his limb half way, which to me seems the least disturbing way of doing it. Any body limb, I find, if you have to crop then half way its length just seems to look better for some reason. - T

I'm sure you know I'm just Joking :smile: You could cut both off and I'd still think it's a great portrait. :smile:

I know you were just returning the favor, and I am grateful... :sideways: I do think cropping is hard sometimes, though. In camera, or come printing time.
