cousins in the barn

you'd never know that this was taken outside in a barn with temps in

the 30 degree F. range.... thank you for your observations as always....

Fredrick:

Really wonderful work. Great use of available light, perfect background and seperation. The cousins are stunning, their similarity is remarkable. At first I wasn't sure about the shadow, there is a nit.

Great Shot!

Beautiful soft light and focus. The two models are really beautiful. Nice skin tone particularly on the model in the front. Nice setting /background. I like the vignetting it is drawing the attention towards your subjects. My only small nit is that one of the models is not looking straight at the camera while the other is, It would be ok if both were looking in the same direction but this way it seems one is distracted. But it's really a small nit. Well done - michel

they are both looking directly into the camera... are you talking about the "direction" of their faces, or eyes? I see no one looking off, maybe someone else also sees what you are referencing? I appreciate your taking time to comment.... thanks

I was referring to the lady on the right on the picture. Her eyes seem to look just a few inches to camera right. When you look at the young lady to the left you have direct and very engaging eye contact, but when you move to the right you have the feeling the other lady is looking at something just to the side of the camera. It's not a major issue, just a minor detail, hardly noticeable, and it is a beautiful photo. I really like the softness of the light and the skin tones. You have excellent DOF as well which is not easy to achieve considering that both subjects are not in the same plane. Regards - michel
