single photos Jazz Singer

Would like to hear your thoughts on how I can improve this image.

Thanks for your time and Happy Shooting!

I love the wide tonality and dynamic pose. it seems that it is animated. I certainly would crop a little bit of the upper edge. just a bit to cut that black part out and draw more focus on the face. The light on the left seems intense enough but the filler on the right is a bit too much. a little darker would be nicer. something like open-close sort of lighting with the limbs immersed in darkness. overall verdict is that the image works for me. nice job

Arash, Thanks for the feedback, I greatly appreciate it and will put it to use.

Sincerely,

Peter

Wonderful old style shot, compliments,...6!

Maurizio, Thanks very much my friend!

Sincerely,

Peter

Unfortunately I can't be of much help in a practical sense in making any kind of suggestions for improvement, as I lack experience and technical knowledge of lighting for this type of photography.

What I would say though is that I can't see anything wrong with it, and it looks great!

I would summarise my impression of the image by saying you seem to have captured the movement and drama of the scene with a very "Shirley Bassey" type moment.

Compliments & Best Regards

Alf, Thanks very much for the great comment! Telling me that it has a Shirley Bassey feel tells me I have achieved my goal. I am very grateful that you took the time to write.

Sincerely,

Peter

This is EXQUISITE!

Emmanuel, Thanks so much for that very encouraging comment. Very much appreciated :)
