If you look closely you will see some wrong selection areas.

Hi Antonio,

Out of 10 point, I will give you only 5 point, Some portion of red jacket from original photographs which is showing it could have very easily be removed,copy and paste area with boundry wall and water, which you pasted over two persons, in water it shows that it is copy & paste work. Anyhow good attempt

Hi Antonio

Here is a picture posted by Sahil, photograph re-composed, corrected, and building construction portion moved closer

Hello Antonio,

I hope you don't mind that I played with your photo in photoshop. I needed a diversion and wanted to see if I could bring your two subjects closer together.
Here is the result:

I think this was also option available to fill the B I G gap between two persons...

But Ashwin thank you ! :) 5 on 10 basis is great if I consider that I have done this a couple of times... Perhaps you were too kind and I only deserve a mere and poor 3 :)

Hello Myra :)
This is something I have tried myself before composing the final image. :) but I moved away from this idea which I consider as an option. :)

The other way was quite simpler: Present the void as it was captured assuming it as the large difference in the persons' attitude and sex in a very opened context.

Thank you all for the comments :):)

Really....?

I seeked some C&C for these shots, and had started a new thread, but didn't really work :(
So I am posting them to a more reliable place :D ;)

(Is this what is called High key?)

Sahil

I think #1 is not very engaging with the model. She is looking off-camera, and the upward angle is not very flattering. Her left hand is cut off half-way, which looks awkward, and I'm not sure about the tight drop on her head.

#2 is much better, I think. Yiu are much more engaged with the model, even though she is not looking at the camera. Good shot.

Thanks for the input, Rob :)

Well, these were candid shots. The kids were lost in their own world & was sitting quite far from them.
Even I like the second one more. Love the way its processing has come out. I used to look at similar looking pics & always used to wonder how they got this effect. I still think, HOW?! I don't remember what I did to make it look like this. As soon as I got this effect I saved the Jpeg :D

Hi Sahil,

It's certainly getting there in my view.

My belief is that "high key" is something you shoot, perhaps accidentally ;)

It's not, IMHO, a PP technique, although you can get away with turning some shots into high key and equally turn something almost high key into a more traditional image with PP.

Cheers,

Sahil Jain thank you for posting ! :)

You have two excellent opinions. :)

Keep posting. :)

I like it, Ali,

and I don't even want the tilt (which is probably deliberate) fixed ;)

.. only thing I wonder about is whether the red EXIT sign could do with a bit of desaturation?

Cheers,

Nice Alis. I like it. Even tilted :)
Another child... another country... another light...
You know how I dislike this strong Sun light. But what could I do ? :) Let this opportunity go away ? :o

Do you believe me if I tell you that I wouldn't think I had such nice photos from Cambodia ?
It may sound stupid but at the time I was - still am - a complete zero on CS# and I was not able to explore the potential of my own pictures.:)
How about this ?
Even if you tell me you don't like I keep my position: I do like it :D:D

Thanks, Dave and Antonio!

The tilt was not intentional but I kept it for effect :)

It looks nice, Antonio!

That is what I like about shooting raw. As I learn more, I go back and search through the old files and discover things :)
