Thank you for your comment, well… everything you would liked to see in the picture it’s absent from it so I don’t know what to say to you; Maybe you needed a whole different one, but this is the one I took and wanted to share, it’s a shame it didn’t said anything to you, I really like to share pictures in here because the suggestions and constructive critique from the people make all of us improve and take notice of a number of details that pass us by. All comments are welcome, thanks again.
Certainly I do learned a lot too Mistyisle, this is the great value to hear the point of view from all of you guys. Regards.
Hi Anne! Thank you very much for your input. I agree with you and Kent about the color adjustments you guys made. I also realize the tighter crop may work better in this image.
I like your cropping but I can’t help to miss the eye of the woman to the left, I think it is important to have all the “twelve eyes” of the subjects in the frame. Maybe, as you suggest, the solution to the “invasive hair” could be to tight a little more the cropping –like Kent did–, and work the picture in photoshop trying to get rid of that hair.
I appreciate your comments Anne, thank you! 🙂
Thank you very much for taking the time to work in my photo Kent!
I agree with you, I think now the upper and the extreme left sides of the photo are non informative and kind of distracting since I have lot of faces asking for the viewers attention.
I found very interesting your cropping approach, it certainly brings the attention were it should be, I really like it, however, I tend to want to have a little more information about the environment were the action is taking place, since this is ultimately a “portrait” of the city.
So I tried a different cropping, wider than yours, perhaps it also works.
Thank you again. Regards.
Hi, I think this is more about the crowd itself, I was not looking for a central character here, maybe could be de woman in the black cap or the guy in the white hat, but I don’t know. However, I must say I agree with Kent comment about the cropping could have been closer in order to focus attention in their faces. Thank you for your comment.
This is a wonderful photo. Congratulations!!
Maybe I would suggest to shoot at higher ISO in order to have the chance to shoot at a little higher speed, overexposing a little in order to get a better control of the contrast in postproduction. Regards.
I agree with your observation about the reflector, it would help improving the overall qualities of the portrait. Regarding the position of the light, in this one I wanted to go and try this lighting setting. Thank you very much for your imput.
I’m using a 16.5” beauty dish with honeycomb grid, it is placed almost in front of her face, the speedlight is somewhere between 1/2 or 1/4 of its power.
Thank you very much for your imput Rob. I’ll try to take better care framing next time, it is clear for me now that this framing is a little troubling. Regards.
Thank you very much for your feedback Rob, I find your points to be relevant in order to improve. I am going to take all of this in consideration next time. Thank you!
Thank you very much Dahlia 🙂
Great capture, you can feel the tension through the characters. I agree with the guys who say the strong presence of the palm trees are a kind of a distraction and didn’t add to the story. But anyhow, congratulations, this is a strong image.
Thank you for you feedback Albirder, you are right, I should go for an ISO 200 in order to reduce shutter speed. My goal here was to properly light up her face underexposing the background, since it is a not so much flattering wall, so my reasoning was to shoot as fast as I could in order to achieve that, but maybe it was a little bit too much 🙂
You are right Rob, I hate shoulders hahahaha. I wanted to get really close to her face in this one, but I think y came half way. I’m going to consider this in the next ones, thank you!
