from the Critique Club:
This is a very nice composition. You are introducing the universal ingredient of love into the static feel of the Train.
The facial expressions are convincing and the touching hands of the extended hands just adds charm. As is the composition is hard to improve upon.
The minor weakness is that while her head is on the plane of the camera, his head is at an angle and he is rewarded with a rim on his frontal cranium and the tip of his nose and a glint on bottom rim of his glasses. Of course, this could be done with reflectors and fill lights, but you did well in capturing the moment. A nice lesson to learn from this endeavor is to try to remember the intensity of the light and how well it all looks versus, the way the camera, with its limitations, captures the image. On this particular case you are asking the camera to render her in full light and him in shadow. It looks feasible to our eyes but the camera is never as sensitive. To an expert photoshop operator this is merely a simple case of selecting his face and adjusting levels a small amount. However, I would not worry about it because there is even the chance that this image will print better then out view on the screen.
I would also take the liberty to suggest cropping the top of the image down to the very start of the left red stripe. The train will still be discernable and the intimacy enhanced. Good shot, now go and outdo yourself. dan |
