this is a black and white film photo class, so i had to scan the photo and that obviously lessened the quality a bit. the assignment was "silohuettes." this is one of my favorite quotes by e.e. cummings.
I could read it right away. Nice attempt, the only thing that sticks out at me is the subject's left hand, is not completely silhouetted as the rest of him is.
Very nice. I had no trouble reading at all. Maybe try to lighten it a bit and have a look. If some details start appearing inside the person (i.e. no longer silhouette) ignore my suggestion.
I had no problem reading either, for a silohuette I would have much rather seen the light come from behind the subject more, rather then off to the right of the camera. It almost looks like the light was almost 90°. How was the print developed? Was it in a traditional wet darkroom? It almost look like the silohuette was burned in (image got a little fuzzy under the subjects right arm pit)
Just my thoughts, please let us know how it was done
