Now, I'm not a black and white expert. And as far as I can tell this shot is
sharp, and the composition is fine.
But something about it bothers me, and that is that the lighting seems (what
I will call) too flat. Maybe experts call it something else. There's no
directional lighting. I think some could have lifted this image to a higher
plane.
I do know that I don't like very contrasty B&W prints, but that's another
extreme.
Discussion?
