Girls

Nice angle

At first I thought that this was a ladies of the night shot. However these ladies are too respectable looking for that. I think that you should retake this shot with a couple of slappers in there place or dress them up as tarts! This may seem sexist or narrow minded or pervy but I don't care it would make all the difference. If you do not believe me try it and see. Oh...change the title from "girls" to "working girls".

 

The far away girl looks out of focus: I think that you should have included her within the depth of field - she is worth seeing!

 

Otherwise I like this picture a lot. It has a nice atmosphere to it. The exposure is very good.

How did you meter it? I don't see any hint of fill in flash they are probably too far apart for that to have worked. Tell me how long it took expose wise?

 

I like the B/W, it suits the image well.

for me, nothing short of perfect. night shots are, from my experience, quite difficult to capture just right, but you've done that here. lighting is excellent, detail of the models, yet not killing the mood. DOF is just money, i think the soft girl right before the background fuzzes is perfect. composition and perspective is tops.

 

 

Come on... the reflection in the foreground right beside her face is a major distraction for an otherwise excellent image. To me that is a fundamental mistake. It needs to burned out or something or better yet, get out in front of it.

I like the use of the street setting and I too thought at first this was a working girls shot. I just love the look of this.

Anthony, -not to me.

No? Side by side I know which one I would choose.

There we go with one of those errors again. Sorry. Anyway, I think I'd like it better if she was right up on the edge of the frame. Don't get me wrong Chris, your stuff is always spectacular.

I am not saying that you are wrong. You can like it or not. I am simply saying that I saw this and wanted it that way. It is not a flaw in my opinion. It helps me to convey what I want the viewer to see.

Yup, Anthony is correct. Thre the shot is otherwise great, fine tones, contrst is appropriate, it's all good. brad
