Forget the forum.. you can still give your critique, if you want. Because I still have this image on Critiquer's Corner.
sincerely,
Avi
P.S. I feel we got off on a wrong foot, which can be sorted, if you want.. but maybe not here. email ?

Aloha Avi,
Please forgive me for my somewhat shallow apologies in saying so because I really wanted to give you a great critique as promised, but it has been cancelled because the 'Great Event' forcasted in the Forums has been deleted ...
Anyway ... you may now resume any constructive attacks on any of my images that you may wish because I really can handle it ... Okay?
Best of Regards and keep on shooting with 'boring' images 1.2.3. as you see fit and want to share which are totally subjective of your most unique personality which should be respected by all as me also ...
With the Best of Regards!
~Sunset Man~

Fantastic use of shadows to create a beautiful composition that tells a mysterious story Avi. Beautiful tonal distribution. Love the use of the person in almost total darkness to draw your eye towards the details in the darker tones on the left side of the shot.
Great work...mlm

Avi (via txules),
I believe I have us covered all the way around on this situation and we are going to make alot of money so check out the new announcements in the Photography, Donor, and Philosophy Forums!
Let's have some fun what do you say because this has never been done on this Site before ...

Doug,
By all means I want real critique, on all those points you mentioned.. and even more, if you would. Please do not doubt for a secoond my sincerity in asking for a critique.. it was just your reference of my comments in that thread that put me off. I just could not see any connection.. anyway, as you put before, let us put this matter beyond us now and I look forward to your critique.
best always,
Avi

Yes, I am indeed in color mood.. but cannot leave old flames totally :):) .. actually I uploaded this shot mainly to show a point or two about composition and post process to our good friend Krishnendu.
As for the wheel (it is really a car tire), for me it added a curved line in the composition with mainly straight lines. It's just the whole geometry of the scene that appealed to me. And yes, it is a very static frame, I agree.
cheers,
Avi

Dear Doug you know me before this usefilm era, so I don't need superfluous explanations but for once let me say that I met Avi some weeks ago in Philadelphia, he is a good photographer and a better man but even if he weren't a friend I'd feel free to critic his work (just like you) because we are in a free world and in a forum about photography, that's all; he usually gets my hardest critis just beacuse he is a friend, with others I don't lose my time unless they are great shooters
about diplomacy, actually diplomacy is not one of my virtues but probably you know what I'm talking about :)
take care....jd
PS: my apologizes for my poor English again

Avi: You're welcome and I am the 'Audience/Visitor/Guest' so I will have the 'Last Word' not you about this image and it will all be about Photography including what I think about your:
1. Philosophy of this Field of Work;
2. The Subject Matter;
3. The Composition of the Subject Matter;
4. Equipment used;
5. Exposure;
6. Post Processing if any;
7. Presentation; and
8. Final Product and Sale Value incorporating the previous critical Seven Points.
So far you haven't received even one 'Real Critique' yet ... Have you and do you believe I am capable of performing that function or would you rather have me do it in 'Silence' by email instead?

better than previous one Avi, but not your best in my opinion: there is not a good balance of objects (I see just objects in the picture, my apologizes if you see and human being :), for me the wheel breaks the dynamism, it's a bit static shot (lately I'm becoming very obsesed about rhythm), however it has very good points, what is the rule in your work, enough for a double award of which I'm very proud
btw, jeje, you told me you are in a color mood these days, I see :)
take care brother

I thank you for the compliment, I have tried to answer your question (about HCB) and do not wish to continue any further here with a conversation outside photography.

P.S. Since you have entered this image into the 'Realm of Critiquers Corner' to gain further attention immediately whether it was your original intention or not, I suggest we let the 'Dust Settle' a bit after 7 Days or so as to not embarrass you too much with such a wider viewing audience and then I'll give you your 'Well Deserved Whipping' ... Okay? Have a nice week in the meantime!

Avi: I just presented a simple compliment, question, and suggestion so enjoy your 33rd and 34th Awards. If you want to continue further in what you have created as a lengthy discussion utilizing a Three-Paragraph 'Defense Mechanism' immediately then I will oblige, but only if you are 'Sitting Down' so you can handle the 'Spanking' ... Okay? :))

Doug,
I am not sure what is the relation of my comments on that thread with this picture. I have been a member of this website for a considerable time now, I like it very much (like you and many others) and have enjoyed a lot viewing images and interacting on photography. And of course, like many others, I have also learnt a lot from here.
Having said that, as a donor member I think I am perfectly entitled to voice my concerns and disappointments when I see issues with the site such as the front page not being refreshed for days, or the project of the month going on for 6 months or more, or donor members who have paid and not got their donor status re-instated. I do not see why I owe an apology to anyone for saying so.
As for HCB, in many ways, he is what photography means to me. To me, he is like god. No, I did not know him as a person, so cannot tell you whether he would or would not approve of my attitude; I am not much interested in him as a person, but more in his work. I love the way he taught us to see the "moment" and the way he was fascinated by the use of geometry in compositions. If you want to know more, I do suggest you watch a documentary on him by Heinz Bütler. It is called 'Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye', and it is available in Netflix (if you are a member).
Here is the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369523/

Avi

P.S. Perhaps you would like to now offer an 'Apology' to the Site Administration for your negative comments in this Forum Thread:
http://www.usefilm.com/Photo_Forum/22/1014070/
But of course it is totally up to you to explain your attitude or not which I am sure Henri would not approve of at all if you really know his real personality deep inside ...
