Artist's Comments

I was going through some of the pictures I took two years ago in the Esquina Carlos Gardel tango house, Buenos Aires, seeing if they could be salvaged. Back then I knew close to nothing about how a camera works, and used an extremely high ISO setting to be able to photograph the dancers in low-light, resulting in a LOT of noise instead of what could have been a very interesting motion blur effect if done right. As I tried to find a way to de-noise the images, I ended up creating this aged black-and-white photo effect, which I think suits this scene very well. Since I felt that it emphasized the expression and atmosphere, I decided to go through with the effect. It's still noisy, but now the noise "fits".

Please fullview and share your thoughts.

Something quite different from you, I see. Yes, I agree that the noise makes it look aged and adds an interesting effect.

And after trying many other things with other pictures, I have to admit it was the only way out. Removing the noise was impossible without also killing all the detail, so I really had no choice but to incorporate it. If you can't beat them, join them.

You did not say if you liked it... I'm on to you and your clever diversion tactics... :paranoid:

Yes, I do like it. You have captured both the grace and the attitude well.
I have no problem saying if I don't like a photo, or elements of it. You should know that by now. Also know that I am being forced by time to not comment on every dev that comes across my watch list. So if I don't comment at all that doesn't eman I didn't like it either. :)
