Description
“Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart.”― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
for dear friend Marta!
crop from original work: [link] ; I try little to remove (gimp) red colour that build a lot of effects because of the old roll of APS Kodak.
minolta vectis s-1, 22-80 mm

This is one of the most interesting shots from this style I've seen in the last year. I love the use of colour, the gradient, even the grain. I feel like the potential here is bursting. I do however, have to take into consideration the very dense amount of grain, coupled with the very underexposed negative. I can understand from an artistic point of view that grain isn't a make or break factor, but this work has a very distracting look from the grain when you deconstruct the image. I love the cropping. If you haven't seen the original, check it out, they all compliment each other so well. On the other note, the underexposed quality of the work (which seems to be the root cause of the grain) makes for a very underdeveloped and undefined midtone-shadows area. One can definitely see where the darkened state was reaching for, but a properly exposed negative darkened is much more manageable and grain free. aside from those two points, nothing else is really off. I love the cropping/compositioning and angle, the flow and movement is wonderful. Nothing else is in need of constructive criticism.
1) cleaner, less grainy images (B&W is usually where grain can come in handy)
2) more on point exposure. (with outdated film, always expose 2-3 stops above. Film looses sensitivity with age!)
