bozovic 0 Posted April 29, 2002 Let me guess, blurred in PS? ;)Actually a nice picture, well caught laugh butI don't know what to thing about the placement.Usually I'd place the person on the right when looking to the left and vice versa. It looks good but perhaps you could do also a second version, just for comparison? :) Link to comment
koska 0 Posted April 29, 2002 Good guess... :)) Now, about the placement... I too follow the same "rule" (person positioned on the left when looking to the right and vice versa), but this was supposed to be a centered portrait. She was all set up and just as I wanted to press the shutter I said something (I don't remember what) that made her laugh... And she was laughing and swingin' from side to side on the chair, so I had a hard time keeping her in the frame (having positioned my camera on a tripod). That's why the positioning is a bit awkward. I like that smile a lot, so I decided to upload the photo anyway... Hope I didn't go wrong... :)) Cheers Link to comment
bozovic 0 Posted April 29, 2002 No, no, the picture is very, very nice! Nice smile and everything, really! I was just wondering if it was something better when placed elsewhere. It's not awkward but different. And hey, nobody says it's forbidden to be different! :) Keep up shooting, you're getting better and better with every shot! Link to comment

alex_taylor 0 Posted May 12, 2002 I kind of like the different composition. If her eyes had been open then it may have been better to have more space to the left and less to the right, but since she's laughing it adds a certain something having negative space somewhere unexpected. This is a great example of shots that weren't planned but turned out for the better. Good job! Link to comment
fred joseph 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Lovely, friendly warmth coming from the smile/laugh - it really adds life to the picture. As for the composition, it seems to be the vogue these days especially in newpapers and magazines to deliberately place the person with negative space behind. It must be some kind of fashion statement or protest. It's just interesting. I've seen the same trend on TV or maybe it's just my imagination? Link to comment
