The picture is taken in a church with nature light from a window at a christening. My first attempt in this forum.

a nice image/setting.

 

on my monitor, the robe has lost some of the highlights ... but it's going to be hard to expose when the person is "spotlighted" like this against a dark background (and maybe the original image was better? maybe some dodging would help?)

 

The shadowing of the face is a bit too deep (e.g. some soft fill flash would have been nice). I know you didn't have control over these things at the time, but these things are what detract from the aesthetics of the image for me.

 

I would like to se what happend when I do like this.

I am new in this forum

Would have like to see his face more.

may I know who is the person or parson? :-)

Very Dramatic lighting.

Yeah - I like the way you captured the lightings!

I too love the lighting in this. The composition is very nice too.

EDIT:

I have tried to rate this 3 times, and as far as I can see my rating is not being accepted, even though it says I rated already?

6/6

The light in this is really nice ... great job

Excellent photo!

Nice composition, I like the way the candle balance against the person. In my humble opinion, a little fill flash on his face will add more interest to the photo. However, the priority is to capture the moment...and you have done it beautifully. Great shot!

composition and angle are well handled...I agree with a bit of fill on his face

very good dramatic lighting. good composition.

Nice shot. Composition is very good, also lighting that creates a very warm atmosphere.

The only things I have to say is that the priest face may be better lightened... but without flashlights many churches are very dark! :-)

BTW nice work.

The light is the main factor in that nice photo, even his face needed more of it, but in general a very good one, good luck for the future. Pnina Evental

This reminds me of a photo from National Geographic. Impeccable lighting, solid composition and a slice of life somewhere. Well done.

A warm photo in a soft light.I like it.
