I would like your opinion on the following.
A few weeks ago my sister printed this photo on a 50x70 cm canvas and hanged it on a wall in her living room.
I never paid any special attention to this photo. It was just another photo, lost among the many thousands in my collection.
I have taken many favorite photos of my niece, much better, I think, than this one.
However, sitting in the sofa 4 meters away from the photo, I have found myself
(at least three different days), wondering: "Why is he staring at me??"
Do you think it has that much 3D and contrast that makes it so "alive" and "convincing",
or is it just the fact that I see beloved persons?
I have never experienced something like this with any other photo.
Taken with Carl Zeiss 2/100 Makro Planar ZE
