Fishing

It has been a long time since I have developed any film. I took this on a recent bike ride. Trying to make it look vintage without processing it I used a 1950's Summicron 50mm lens and Kodak TriX 400. I cleaned off some dust spots and leveled the horizon, other than that it is out of camera. What do you think?

Nice and balanced composition, Greg. What i like most of all is the grain. Film, especially high iso is great for texture.
This is looking good, Greg.
My one nitpik would be to have got down a bit lower so the ladies fishing rod was just over the trees.
Man, you are back in full swing. :)

A very peaceful and calming image Greg and the position of the two people is great. Gary mentioned the rod position; I'm wondering if there is a possibility of the tip of the rod being lost against the white sky had you positioned it above the trees.
The grain in the sky RH side looks a bit strong.
Very enjoyable Greg.

Thanks Gary, Thanks Tom. I agree about the pole.

Ye gods! Tri X! excellent.I always liked HP4 myslf. Nice image, takes ya right back.

Greg,

I admire the photographer that can visualize their work in b/w. I have a very hard time with it but you seem to handle it well. There is something special about the texture of b/w and you have it here. Nicely done.

Thanks Dave, Thanks David for the nice comments.

Hmmm .. one of those lazy day, human interest shots here. Not an artistic endeavor for sure, but this one makes you think. I guess it's about family rather than fishing (IMHO). The plainness of the surroundings sorta drives me crazy, but again it's not about that. I think the black and white is an excellent choice in shots like this.
