CAPTION: none

CRITIQUE: I liked this photo because no one gets to see what a surgery
might look like from the patient's point of view. The photo has a short long
depth of field, even though it's not really relevant because it's in a small
room, but the corners of the wall and the ceiling are pretty clear. The
lighting in the photo and the dramatic angle the photographer portrayed
displays a "larger than life" appearance for the surgeon (CVI). Shutter
speed is also irrelevant in this shot because not much is moving, unless the
surgeon's scalpel is moving really fast, but i'd guess the shutter speed
would be around 1/600 of a second...maybe...because there's no blur. The
scalpel and the way the lights above the surgeon also creates effective
leading lines towards the CVI, and the contrast in the photo is also
very..."contrasty" (blacks and whites are very nicely exposed and nothing is
over- or under-developed).
