I took a Black and White Photgraphy class last semmester here is one of my favorites and I did the printing as well for it.

I can almost see this image as a poster like inside a GAP Store or something similar..

Very nice mate. Black and White is a fav of mine and the photo you have presented is brillant. May I ask why you chose the title "Flower Girl"?

This something that can be called photograph!
Correct me if I'm wrong now, but it has been taken with 35mm camera? What kind of camera you used and what type of film, as it seems to have a realy high ISO speed? Now if I'm wrong, you have seriously edited it photoshop.

Anyway this really is a good photo, 11/10 :angrylooking:

well she was holding a flower so to me it seemed obvious...

and to answer your questions No it was not edited on photoshop at all ISO was set at 400, and yeas 35mm film camera and film used.

Ive been using ILFORD for my film.. and I shot this with a Nikon N55 SLR.

And the reason why the picture looks the way it is so high in contrast and grainy is dur to the actual print ..

The image was enlarged prior to printing ,

and for those of you who might be thrwon of by printing I mean, when I was in the actual dark room developing the picture onto a photopaper..

I used several filters and i printed several prints to get what i was looking for.

Now I have pushed the ISO up to 3200 using 400 Film and that gives you a really grainy picture but its also best if you shot in very low light.. and i mean low light..

but this image again I shot with an ISO400 35mm film in daylight probably around noon..

Ahh, well to me it wasn't obvious that it was a flower, initialy it appeared to me to be a part of the far side of her hood that she is wearing.

From what I see it looks good, I'm not a photographer or have a clue about it really, but the photograph looks nice and the detail looks superb.
