Traditions

Any feedback? Thanks!

Love the look of wonder on the little girl's face and the look of concentration and seriousness on the one with the hood. No offense intended to anyone, but the third lady in the back seems to be "extra". I HATE manipulating my shots so as to make them this "different" than the actual moment, but might try cloning her out? (should be pretty easy since the background is so dark). Very nice photo overall with great feeling and meaning. Nice work!

I'm ok with the lady at the left, maybe I'll "burn" a little to "send" her to the background, and if you are talking about traditions, you need the three generations, that's what give this image the sense. In the same way of thinking, if you'll be working in the subject, you need to add some elements to tell to those non familiar with jewish traditions what are you talking about.

Jeff: Thanks for the feedback. I agree. I cloned out the third person. It works much better know. Thanks again!

Oh no, now I feel terrible! I always feel so guilty (& I'm not even catholic :-) ) when I make a suggestion & it actually happens. I do sincerely hope that "you" like it better this way though. My suggestions are just that, suggestions. Take care & happy new year!
