Meg with Glasses

[Brian Moore]

She still had her braces in at the time.

Taken last August at The Torridon Hotel in Wester Ross, Scotland.

Olympus XA and Arista Premium 400 film. (Actually re=branded Tri-X.) Processed in Rodinal.

I like all the distortion effects of the views through the glasses Brian and the contrast that makes with Meg being sharply and cleanly focussed. And her expression is a bit enigmatic I find (which I like). Mind, it looks like the light coming through those glasses has set one of the canapés alight!

Nice shot...but I'm thinking someone is going to suggest a square crop.

That Chris is so predictable these days isn't he! Now me, I'd just crop one glass off the LH side if I was going to do anything.

Thank you, Pete.

There you go with the Euro-lingo again! It's not actually a can of peas. Its just a wee candle.

Glenn,...must you encourage him?!

Anyway, thank you.

That's a braw shot, laddie. She has a great smile - talk about lighting up a room

Love it! I'm with Pete, love those distortion through the glasses...

Love this composition, Brian. 4+2 glasses, a candle light in her heart, a beautiful smile, and a couple of tree layered outside. The ceiling-wall line brings more dynamics.

Lovely observations, Nihat. "Candle light in her heart" in particular. Its especially meaningful because she has such a good heart this wee girl. (Very proud of her!)

Thank you.
