Waiting

Ted Szukalski

Waiting: a task we all must endure at some time, sometimes with anticipation and sometimes with impatience. We wait for people late for meetings, insignificant change of traffic lights or events that may define our life.

great shot Ted

I get anxious just looking at this shot. That's what "waiting" does for a lot of us. I think the extra space in this shot adds to the tension...I'm not sure how that works, but for me it does! Probably because he is standing there "waiting" for whatever and very exposed while he is doing this. (I'm thinking out loud, hope this makes sense!) Great shot, and it gets me thinking about what is happening.

That is exactly the response / reaction I was hoping this picture generates.

I love the composition and the "feel" of it. But, I wish you hadn't blown out his tie/shirt. Still a great shot!

OK, it took a while but by using a different spectrum in black and white conversion I was able to not only recover the blown highlight in the shirt in the tie but also discover the tie has a pattern - wonders of shooting raw and using digital process never stop.
