I'll have what she's having! :-) This should almost be posted in the "nudes" category

 

Nice black and white, love the inclusion of the "spectators" and their enjoyment of the performance. Good work

A good capture! However, I don't agree that the other spectators add to the motif. Their faces indicate that she is acting, playing a sort of theatre for her company. If you remove the other persons, the scene becomes more 'real', and opens up for the viewer's imagination to a greater extent. I would suggest to remove all distracting element, and focus on the lady only, see attached suggestion. I like the shot however, and the use of b/w works very well.

I agree with Jon. I know you dont like croppings but this photo gains so much by cropping it as Jon suggested.

Sorry to butt in again, but I think it's mainly a question of "which" photo you're trying to present. The original has a different context and gives us the vibe of a wedding or a group of friends out for a meal... there is humor, comraderie (sp), playfullness, something to celebrate.

 

The crop (equally powerful and possible, that's for sure) is just something totally different (sensuality, pure pleasure-filled emotion, eroticism through food (9 1/2 weeks?).

 

For me, one's not more correct or more pleasing than the other...they're just different

A mi, definitivamente, me gusta mas el contexto original. De otra forma, pareceria mas anuncio de "Nestle". Por ejemplo, la sonrisa de la mujer hasta la izquierda, a mi juicio, es esencial. ;O)

No crop please... I prefer the original version, though I am sure that the cropped version could easily reach the TRP... ; )

Jeff, I enterely agree with you. Here I tried to capture the great ambience at the party. In any case, I've spoken to Cova and she has agreed for a photographic session. Watch out for a future portfolio :)

Que le digas a Cova (con toda la cortesia y caballeria posible, claro ) que aqui estaremos esperando con ganas :-)

 

Parece una modelo de posibilidades ilimitadas (anque fuera algo para un anuncio de "Nestle")

I agree that the cropped and the original version are two different photos. In my opinion, the uncropped version is more private. I fully respect Luis' intention of sticking to the uncropped version. The shot is excellent in both ways!

Eso es lo que yo llamo disfrutar de una helado. Yo veo bien a la gente que esta junto a ella. Quizas si quitaria un poco de espacio por arriba, ya que me parece que hay demasiado. Un saludo

I agree with the main comments...the cropped version is another photo, I prefer the original one. Great moment taken!

I agree the atmosphere really makes the photo and the suggested crop lose it; however, people in the left are mere spectators that do not make any substantial contribution and are rather distracting. I would suggest a slight cropp on the left. Nice photo!
