On Their Way to Separation

Comments, ratings on this troubled couple's portrait

very sad. good compostion. it needs the title to survive.

Robert,

 

I'd disagree that the title is necessary. My first thought when I saw the thumbnail was that something was coming between the couple. Perhaps would have liked to have seen the mans entire face in focus rather than just the one side. Nice job.

I like the strong expression of this one, and agree that the man should be in complete sharp focus. Great job nevertheless.

Thanks for the comments--I agree about the focus. Shooting quickly, handheld, @300mm isn't a good idea.

Ah.... 300mm hand-held, top notch clarity then. My hands shake really bad, so I don't own telephoto lenses because of that. I would get VR (IS eqvlnt in Canon) telephotos someday.

I like this a lot and only wish the man's cap was a bit higher and he was slightly sharper. Since I'm sure this wasn't posed I think you did a very nice job under the circumstances. A moving shot.

Jenna, thanks for your comments/suggestions, both which were right on.

Really good 7/6. Well done
