The old power house at the iron works in Mayville, Wisconsin. The building, on Iron Lane, is now used by a local machine shop and custom fabricating business. The photo was taken in September of 2015. This print was made in August, 2016 on 8” x 10” paper.
Every detail look fine(( you can almost count the bricks ) except possibly the little girl sitting on the front Y part of the trailer She looks a little indistinct against the background and yet she is an important part of the picture as the only human interest aspect, I feel. I don't know how but somehow and if it is possible, she needs to be made more distinct. A small hole to create a burn-in perhaps at a higher contrast grade? It might just be that the scan make her less distinct than on the print of course
I am afraid that there is no little girl to give me credit for. If it is the trailer on the right, it is a spare tire you are seeing. It is true that scans of prints are not as sharp as the prints themselve, but if you lay in a lot of sharpening, it looks wrong.
Thanks Brendan. I do sometimes apparently see things in the Photrio Gallery that no-one else comments on but immediately to the right of the tire which I assume is the black object on top of the A part of the trailer that connects to the vehicle attachment point there is/are objects that resemble a pre-teen girl with one pigtail hanging over her right shoulder looking towards the brick wall so her back is towards the camera . One of her legs is swinging over the trailer but is barely touching the ground.
OK it begs the question of where her other leg can be but I saw this yesterday and despite realising that it isn't a girl I still see this today. It's funny I see all of this but cannot pick up colour casts that others clearly see in "what's wrong here? question on the forum
@pentaxuser I spent 10 minutes looking for the 'little girl'. She's definitely not there. I think her 'leg' is actually a rod and wheel used to move the trailer when it's unhooked from a vehicle. Have you tried taking a Rorschach (Ink-Blot) Test? It might produce some interesting results.
Thanks It's like faces in tree bark or more usually rocks. You can either see one or you can't no matter how hard you look. I was in a church once with my young son and his mate and there was a picture on its wall with writing underneath that wasn't legible from the viewing distance we all were. I saw the face of Christ instantly. My son and his mate looked for at least 5 mins and said they saw a random black and grey blot pattern. Then we went closer and the inscription simply said:" Some see the face of Christ and others see a random pattern of blots
