Amazing. I completely understand what you are saying about learning about your family when it's too late to get to know them. I have an album from my mother that has pictures from her youth and she did a great job including the names so I know who they are, but I sadly didn't get to know them as people. I have been afraid to scan those pictures in and restore them a bit because I thought I might damage them or otherwise do them a disservice, but this presentation helps take those fears away.
It's also an interesting commentary on different eras of photography. The composition and placement of the wedding party haven't changed all that much, but the serious expressions is not something I see a lot these days in wedding photography (it does look like the woman to the left of the bride is holding back a smile, and that is a great detail). Thank you for sharing the photo and your experience with this exercise, both of which have touched me more deeply than expected. |

Hi, Lance. Just going to start off with "Wow". I love the story and the presentation of this photo. I love the intensity of your gaze here and wonder what you were seeing. This moment from your youth clearly left an impression and it's amazing that you still have the sketch. I also cannot think of two more vastly different ways of capturing this image- sketching with charcoal/ pencils and imaging with a cell phone. Very different worlds and techniques, but the image still sings. |

Hi, Debasish. Great conversion. I agree with Lance that the monochrome presents more boldly and gives a slightly different mood to the picture. The buildings and mountains of the cityscape are very well presented, and the large number of different type vessels (cruise ships, aircraft carriers, single masted sail boats) gives a little treasure hunt to the foreground. Very inviting. |

Agreed, Mike. This is a very creative presentation of the subject. I never thought to process a flower image in this way, but I have a lot of similar color flower pictures that I was disappointed with because they just didn't have an impact.
Only two minor suggestions. For me, as long as you've taken it this far into the art direction, I might see what it looked like cropped so that the flower is more in the center and try to remove the remnant bright spots that are lurking in the otherwise dark background. But very creative and I love it. |
