    Angry The wonder of a French-Fry

    This is leah
    She was happy to have some hot french fries and ketchup. I shot this for a B7W class I am taking, shoot a roll from a different perspective. I sat on the floor and shot a roll.

    Nikon F100
    Ilford Delta 400
    F8 @ 1\60, SB28 flash
    developed in Tmax for 8 minutes and scanned with my handy-dandy Epson 3170 Photo

    Please let me know what you think!!

    I like the angle it puts you right here almost at the same vatage point that she might see the world...but try to look out for distracting element like the fast food bag. It takes away the depth of field and makes what could bea very nice shot into a very flat shot. I like the look of the shot(contrasty and I like the grain) but I would like to see others or maybe a reshoot...

    again great angle- great vatnage point- even great comp (witht he hunt's bottle) ---just a cleaner setting...

    I like the concept very much. I think in this particular case there is a bit too much clutter in the foreground, but otherwise it's a great moment you've captured.

    There are too many elements that compete with one another or that are distracting.
    The upper left corner distracts my eye, the bottle is competing with the girl, several black and white areas compete with each other, the foreground is distracting and the eyes of the girl play a minor role in her face. Remove the foreground and I think the image lacks enough depth. Several white areas are too bright, details got lost.

    The moment is great, i't just these things that I mentioned that spoil it somehow.

    It's a wonderful looking kid so there are still great opportunities here to make that wonderful shot. Thank you for sharing.

    Okay!

    Thanks
    I agree that there is a lot of clutter in the shot. My aim was to have that there to set the feeling of "fast"food but it has removed the focus from her.

    Thanks for the posts.
