billsr Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Khiem, Your children are beautiful! The composition and posing of the children could be better. Khiet is looking to the left with his head tilted to the right, while MyVy is looking downward to the right. This is an unbalanced looking composition. It would have been better if the children were looking in the same direction, or at each other. There is too much empty space to the left of the frame. Cropping this shot doesn't help much, however. I think a vertical (portrait) composition would be better. Still, it's a lovely picture of two lovely children. Congratulations! William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_brown2 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 enjoy them your whole life. Love the look in your sons eyes. I always tried to get my children interested in the same thing; a toy, an activity, or at times even my camera! At any rate I've yet to see a real poor image of them, it's our subjective view as parents and it's our right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abufletcher Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Khiem, Yes, cute kids -- but then whose aren't. Here's a slightly adjusted version of your photos. I used auto-level, auto-color and then gave it a slight crop in PhotoShop.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_Es Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 This is a very personal photograph. As such it is really beyond critiquing in a way. The composition is good and with a little Photoshop this can be an outstanding image as an image. The subject matter is, however, beyond crticism.

gerry_szarek Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Donald's remake is better,however it is still to blown on the right side for my taste. It is a good family picture, which you will remember for years to come. I would recommend you reshoot a similar scene using negative film to get more dynamic range, I am making the rash assumption that you used a slide film.

henricus Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Khiem,<p> A wonderful shot that simply needs a little darkroom work. I hope you do not mind a different version. I have posted a quick adjustment of your photo that has been darkened, cropped and converted to grayscale. I used IrfanView program for a quick job, but I would suggest you use Photopaint or Photoshop for better results.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachaine Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 It's a cute picture. The only thing I can see would be to pay more attention to the background. In this case, there's a dark side and a white side which meet almost exactly between the children's heads. That could easily have been avoided by changing the camera angle a bit.

henricus Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 A lighter version.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Another thought. Richer colour, sharper.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
