    I went to a friend's place last Saturday Night for a belated St Pat's Party. During the party my friend Annie got a phone call from her brother. I took this grab shot as I was passing. This is a crop from a larger image. I like her expression & it reminded me of a time when a phone call between Ireland & Australia was a very rare and expensive occurrence. I have processed this to try to get the feeling of a phone call home from those days.

    C&C Welcome.

    Great, dramatic shot, and the PP really suits it. Congrats! I wonder what the full photo looks like? Are there any people, furniture etc, that would put it in context?

    This was the full frame from which I took the crop.

    How do you feel about this crop? I don't think it is 'better' than your b/w one, but it does give a different slant on it, what do you think?

    That is actually the first crop I considered, but decided I just wanted her and that expression without any distractions.

    There is also something in this shot which reminds me of Munch's "The Scream"

    you are right, there is a real sense of isolation & fear going on there - and I like the grainy b/w treatment - it is a great fit for the subject.

    Looks like she's heating some bad news? You didn't guide or hint to her in anyway to make this expression? Great shot and I lime the processing too. It's perfect. If completely candid.

    100% candid. Just a lucky grab shot as I walked past.

    i think a simple b&w conversion would have done just as well; also, just cropping out the black spots to the left of the doorframe but keeping her roughly centred in the frame would probably work too; it's a strong enough shot that several treatments - including the original image - would work.

    Most pointless quote ever?

    You missed the bit about her "heating" bad news. Damn Iphone predictive texting. At least op knew what I meant.

    It was meant in good spirit- suck it up, we've all spelt things incorrectly.

    I think a crop of her and the baloons,with the B&W treatment
    but with some selective colour on the green baloons would be the kind of thing the Herald would **** themselves over!

    "Irish Woman's relief after fears for her Kids in Australia after the Tsunami"

    yep I can see it now! :p
