How would you crop this?

Sorry About the statue comment Alis, I thought for sure the blocking object was some kind of dark coloured statue.

How did you manage to get the subject so well exposed and the other person so dark. They appear to be quite close together. It does not make sense to me unless it was photoshopped or something, which I suppose would also account for the dark blue fringe that I see in certain areas. I'm just learning all this stuff, so I mean no disrespect with all the questions, just curious. :)

Doesn't look like a person; it looks like Darth Vader. The girl is nice but I thought it was some sort of fixed furniture; and best left in to make sense of the girls posture.

I like the girl.;)

Don't worry Wendy.I like questions and these are actually very reasonable :)

I was taking her picture and someone moved back and blocked part of the picture. I took like 20 pictures of her from that place but only this one is really sharp and well lit. In rest of them her eyes are closed or she is talking and her mouth is open and so on, that is why wanted to keep this one.


The other person is darker probably as result of the combination of my PP specially the vignetting I applied plus the fact that that persons coat is dark and out of focus. As you can see part of the skin from the side of the face is visible and is not that dark.

Thanks for working on the picture!

Wow! I'm begining to like this shot.

If only the entire face was show and that she was more towards the left. :rolleyes:

Hei ! How about my version ? :)

I like it. Actually this shot looks less and less like an accident. With Antonio's crop it looks like the lady was being a bit camera shy and hiding behind something and then you caught her when she peeked out.
I like it

I don't think so, Antonio. I think you are leaving too much black on the side. I have difficulty justifying that :)
