Couple

I waited and waited hoping for something to happen, but then gave up

and got away with this.

It´s a nice photo full of emotion. I think a little bit of croppind on the left would help.

Cool shot, I don't think a crop is necessary...looks well balanced to me. The shadows really make the image. Nice catch!

Sorry, I can't help it -- (b&w)

I tought about different crops as well, but given the nature of this image it's hard to decide wich one is better. I think this wider view has a more "geometrical" feel to it wich I like.

 

I'll post the B&W version sooner or later, Mr Williams, don't worry :)

 

Thanks for your comments!

I like the compsition and the play light and shadow... Regards.

I like the texture of the "pavé", unfortunatly the floor is not uniform. I think a vertical crop may help (cutting out the left part of the image).Nice.

I too like the how the shadows add a nice element here. The couple are positioned perfectly as well. Nice work!

I agree with Fab. I think a (b&w) vertical may be the most desireable crop imwo. The main thing I see here Simone, is that you shot the image in such a way to give you many cropping options. Many of your recent uploads have been this way and that is a sign of growth and skill imwo .............. (-;

I tought about cropping too, but I like the shadow/light contrast. I'll post the cropped version later and see if it gets POW :)

 

The main problem with cropping is that getting "closer" with a crop means losing a lot of detail since 6mpixel may sound a lot (well it doesn't sound a lot to me already :) but 2 mpixel sounds like crap. The same applies to 35mm film I guess, so I never crop more than 1/3 of the full frame.

 

Thanks for all the comments... I usually don't get as many in a month :) And does IMWO stand for...? I got a few interesting versions but they are all too offensive :)

In my worthless opinion (imwo) ........... (-;

 

And I agree with your thoughts on image quality loss by cropping too much - is about the same with film scans too.

fine composition, fine space, fine theme, lovers. mike

I always like when the photos plays with light and shadows to get the point of interest. I like this a lot. Very good.
