Challenge: Candid II (Advanced Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Pgh, PA
Date: Jan 2, 2005
Galleries: Candid
Date Uploaded: Jan 2, 2005

 Outside of a restaurant near my home. I just took a few shots of the building and panned over toward these two for a split second and snapped a couple -- they looked like they were having a good time.

Cropped and adjusted curves -- sharpened lightness channel. Converted to B&W to 'isolate' the mood rather than having the focus solely on the people and the building behind them -- although the color version I feel is much better, the b&w seems better as a candid.

I think it's a pretty good shot although not the best by far -- hoping for a 5.5 but will probably fare much worse.

Yep, that will always remain a mystery. Good b/w bumping up.

Candid yes! Interesting? Not too much. Your crop is kind of awkward too. Too much space at the right side of the frame that doesn't add anything to the shot.

The picture's all in the left face; the rest of the image is lacking in impact for me.

Love the mirrored poses. Nice catch. Whatever they are saying must be interesting!

They know what they are saying (or do they?), but maybe nobody else does. I like the idea of thier relationship though. Nice capture
