Peekaboo!

Hi guys. This was taken shooting through a windowshop, with a film camera, TMAX Black and white. Very grainy (think it was a 4 or even 800 not sure). What do you think?

Re: Peekaboo!

Giova, I like this one alot. The grain works for the mood and timeless feel of the image. It is alot of grain and I would guess it was at least 800 if not higher iso, but I think it works great. I love the aesthetic. The moment you captured here is gold. The child peeking around the window is classic. I like the hint of the cabinet inside with bottles.
I would only suggest cropping this into an 8x10 format by removing some of the wall on the right.
Well done.

Re: Peekaboo!

Truly a classic style image. The grain from the film only adds to the overall appeal for me.

I'd consider a slight straightening (clockwise rotation), a bit of contrast adjustment to pull the blacks and whites a bit further apart to make the image have more 'snap', and I'll second Gary's suggestions regarding the crop location.

Congratulations of the 'sticky' and featured photograph.

Will look for more from you in the future.

It's a great photo! Well done. It's a stack of grain, but I love it.
