Now that I like too Rob. Nicely timed to catch the moment.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete. Fred's a new student. Turns out he used to be a professional photographer...hope he likes this shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

I don't see why he wouldn't. It has a very nice dynamic to it I think.

Rob, unusually beautiful due to three different dynamics of the student.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Ooooo, I like this a lot Rob - nicely done

How did he react to being the subject for a change?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, guys. He was the most relaxed so far. I saw no difference in his body language at all. Not sure I would be so relaxed...

All the images from this series have been square cropped, but that just wouldn't work with this image. I was trying to give a unified format to the series, but now I'm questioning that. It's a strong image, so I don't want to leave it out.

Rob a very strong image with s strong element of Fred's character coming across. It has a Hieroglyphic pose , I wonder if Fred did this deliberately, I guess so.
The cropping of a set? I do not see why some images cannot deviate from each other, or look at giving the squares a different crop.

If an image is strong enough it will stand up to whatever is done, this can be a good way of testing the strength of an image, for its viability and if it belongs.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good points, Julian. He might have been posing, but it all seemed very natural. I get what you are saying about the crop situation.

 

[Brian Moore]

Great shot, Rob. I love how you've captured his movement--it's like a dramatic pose,...but of course its not a pose. Excellent!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Ok Rob...you really nailed it with this one. Nice job!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Glenn.
