You Keep Me Hangin' On

[invisible]

I know that the title of this photo kind of dates me -- and it dates you too if you get the reference --, but I'll stick with it nevertheless. Plus, I'm pretty sure this coat has been hanging there since around the time that song came out

Thanks for looking...

I like the quality of the coat's fabric. The way it hangs all crumpled.

Nice image, i like the textures :thumbup:

Oooo, stellar image. Really makes me feel like I just came in out of the snow on a December morning. Outstanding atmosphere. :thumbup:

Edit: IMO sepia would spoil this photo.

Kim Wilde, awesome singer, great video for it's day. Funny, I was just listening to her Greatest Hits CD the other day actually...

I can't believe all these awesome props are in this house!

Not only that but you really know how to make a quality photo with them and really capture the feeling.

It took about 3-4 weeks for this thread to get going – I guess the B&W sub-forum has gotten slow...

Thanks much. If you're really interested in a print, feel free to drop me a line. Please keep in mind that this is a square image, so 8x10 won't be possible. And I agree with Arkanjel – I think sepia would spoil this one...

Kim Wilde's is the version that I knew up until I posted this image on different forums. Then I learned that the original version is by The Supremes, and the one cover that made it big was by Vanilla Fudge. All three versions are on YouTube, and all three rock!

Thanks everybody for the kind feedback!

I only use the "Active Topics" link so if it happens to be active when I look i'll comment. I think a lot of people do that. There's so much activity on this board I think that if you post and you don't get any hits in 2 hours it's off the active list, and you just have to cross your fingers.

Eh, maybe it's just my new school-old school mix I have.. I haven't seen many others that share the same thoughts as I do.. But I really can't believe you feel like sepia would ruin this.. add sepia and film grain and I think it'd be great. But of course you are the artist and I would never, ever suggest against the artists interpretation/opinions on his/her work.

Could be... However, you've been a member here long enough to remember that this and all of the other gallery sub-forums were very active up until maybe 12-18 months ago. Now it seems that the only really active forum is the Beginners' (to the point that it's not uncommon to see advanced photographers posting photos there in order to see how people react to their photos).

Not counting this post, there's been a grand total of 3 posts on this sub-forum today...

I do like sepia but when it comes to monochrome I tend to lean towards B&W – and that's how I normally envision my monochrome images. That being said, I might still give this one a try in sepia and see what happens. Thanks for your comments.

I really love the texture here. Great shot.

Why do you think this is?

I find my posts sometimes get a lot of attention, but others get nothing at all...it's true that I do use the "new posts" selector, but then sometimes when I have a little more time I do "trawl" the sub-forums for inspiration or to comment on others work.

Did lots of people fall out, or something?
