Film Is Not Dead

I loved this picture the moment I saw it, I think it is a great portrait. In my opinion the framing of the image is fantastic, drawing you in to the subjects expression. Great job, a worthy winner and inspiration for me to try and capture my own fathers portrait.

I think there is a 50's feel to this picture which I really like. I love the contrast and grain of the T-Max film, I have a roll ready to load and shoot, I just hope I get something as wonderful as this.

Superb picture, to me it feels cinematic, as if it has been taken from a movie. I love the background colours and I get a real sense of poise from the subjects, almost as if they have stopped to pose before galloping off.

I love the sense of scale in this picture enhanced by the angle the photograph was taken from and the use of the reflection. In my opinion it is a wonderful black and white image enhanced by the film grain.
