I received a reply over on Fred Miranda's site after posting this image in
the B&W forum for critique. I was told the viewer couldn't determine the
subject, that he thought the image needed more contrast.
Not certain I agree with any of that. Artistically I find it has two
disparate subjects between which I cannot find any visible connection. In
essence you have two different photographs within one. Crop each one away
from the other and see what you get.
The tone of the second makes it feel warmer. Higher contrast would make it
feel "harder" or "harsher" and I'm not certain I'd do that . . . at least
with the woman on the left.
