ST. LOUIS BEACH Photo

Photographer’s Note

Finally I have a higher resolution image of the first posted photo. I hope nobody minds that I am reposting it here.
The original 16x20 did win an international first prize for "The Human Face" among 20 thousand competitors, if I may mention it.

Compliments Helmut, everything is perfect.
The fierce look of the girl, the tonality of the BW and the composition.
Compliments...

Hi Helmut,
You did well to repost that photo because I never saw it before and it's a great B&W one with that young girl gracefully carrying her pot. Beautiful light and good framing as well.
All the best,
Marilyn

Yep, very good framing, love the typical lith effect there. not surprized it won a prize... it should be quite impressive viewed at full size thanks to the 6*9 format texture details.
