Aram discovering the garden of his grandfather.








Camera: NEX-5 (ISO200, f/1.5, 1/4000s)
Lens: Zeiss-Opton Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 T (Contax)

I like this kind of retro-look, not sure if you agree with me.

Personally not fond of the look - the shots are intrinsically great though (how could a kid shot fail?) To my weak old eyes these look as though they have excessive adjustment to the contrast.

Composition and timing are just great, but there's something in rendering (maybe PP, maybe OOF areas rendering) that make those a bit "harsh" in a way that doesn't fit very well with the atmosphere of the scene. Probably is a matter of personal taste, anyway.

Retro look and very young child do not match well unless the child is wearing retro clothes - which is not.
Also I think it's a mistake also on the communication, the photo should show wonderful "new" colours (because for a child this young everything is new),
in other words show the world as if it was seen through "new eyes"
But I doubt that new eyes would see world as a greenish soup - on the contrary I would expect bold, adventurous colours.

Yes, I'm thinking something along these lines also - if vintage/aged print film is what you are after, the contrast needs to be a bit lower.

Love the shots but the colour is strange as if the red channel has been taken down to near zero.

I see a magenta cast.

Thanks for your comments.

I'll give it a rest and put myself at the drawing table again in a few days Smile

I agree with Orio here. Post processing and the subject don't match. Compositions are fine though.
