Syncopation

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brook Atkinson- 1951

    I like it but in B&W, reason the first thing I see is the Yellow Awning & then the Paris Bag and then .....

    So if you want the viewer the see the interaction between the hand/the face right off
    then B&W is how I would present it.

    I dunno.... When the image appeared on my screen, the page break showed the top 1/3 so the hand jumped out at me right away, then I scrolled down for the rest of the image. So my focal point was the hand first and I think the title worked.

    Then to play a bit, I set it up to see the image full frame and every time I looked where the subject looked first, the hand. Kind of funny how the human brains work, huh?


    As for the shot, I think it's an awesome capture. But I'm really liking quirky stuff of late and this, for me works.
