mountainvisions 77 Posted July 24, 2006 for some reason i really like the shot...i prefer b&w portraits with simple backgrounds, this works. only negative, look at the dead space on the left? perhaps crop in tight on the ladies shoulder and maybe a bit up top. Link to comment
johnz 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Shawn: Like Justin - for some reason this caught my eye and I like it a lot. I agree with the crop Justin suggested and I would also add that it would be nice to have the lighter tone (looks like a chair or something) above her right shoulder removed. Nice shot in any case.

umapathy 0 Posted July 24, 2006 I love this shot. and i do agree, a tight crop will make this look brilliant. Link to comment
palmtree 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Shawn, this is such a nice feeling shot of these two who are so obviously an integral part of each other's lives. I'm in with a tighter crop so they dont feel so 'pushed down' by the black negative space, but it's wonderful! Well done. Kind regards, MIke Link to comment
swillden 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks everyone for the kind comments, and for the (unanimous!) recommendation to crop it a little tighter. I'm just beginning to learn how to take pictures, and composition is something of a mystery to me, but I can see what you mean about the space, and after playing with some different crops, I can see how the tighter crop improves the image. Any comments on the contrast? I normally edit my photos on my laptop, and photos that appear bright and nicely contrasted on that screen tend to be bright and harsh on some other screens. I edited this one on my desktop, which has a very bright, high-contrast LCD, and this image looks really flat on my laptop. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions. I'm learning a lot!
