Thanks Antonio, Didn't do to much to it as it started out as a JPEG and I don't like too much post processing but feel free if you want. By the way can you spot the bad cloning in this? Peter

No, I can't . Where is it ?

Originally there was a lampost coming out of the top of Harry's head. You can see the bottom between his legs.

Indeed
Here is my version of the shot. I can't do better than this
Were they posing for some person ? Not a professional photographer I hope...

This is very good, Antonio. When I take a picture of people this wide, the things in the room look so disorganized and the picture looks so crowded I can not use it. But this one is very neat, maybe our houses are full of junk

he is growing ...

Just noticed this. Looks good. Yes they were posing for a 'professional', although I use the term loosely as I think the majority of his shots are awful. But thats another story. I turned up with my Fuji GA645zi and several rolls of Reala 400 to find it was raining so had to use internal flash to try and get a few shots indoors, with very dim light, for my personnal satisfaction.

Looking for some C&C.

And how about this one? I am not much into portraits. I find it difficult to take care of skin tones

Hello Sahil Thank you for posting
Your photo looks a little blurred in my monitor. I can't see clearly where the focus is. I assume it is in the face of the painter.
I also think you should be a little more careful about the background of your image. At our left it looks like some kind of arc where the area is burned, there at the end where the green is.
That makes as important area quite different from the other one all around.

The idea of shooting the painter with a drawing of himself looks interesting.
I was going to suggest you re-shoot but I think you can't do it.

Your image looks like a square but it is not indeed.
Regards

Thanks for the input, Antonio. The Image was shot at f5.6, 1/8th shutter speed, ISO 400, Hand-held. So that answers the blur. The focus was on the face of the sketch artist.
The sketch artist was actually making sketch of someone else, and his own sketch was for the advertisement of his skills
There were so many people surrounding the guy as he was busy making the sketch. I couldn't tell the crowd to move out a bit, as I didn't want to draw his attention. Re-shoot, well that can be thought of, when I visit the place again.

You can even try to get him in focus with the crowd around blurred.
I mean him as the target clearly assumed in focusing, aesthetically and compositional terms.
Him in a gap of the crowd...

I have been looking in my own pictures and I found none under this criteria

[Sahil]

Well the crowd around would have ruined, whatever shot I have got

Excuse me but I do not agree with you.
Please try will you ?

[Sahil]

Hmmm I will do that. Can't recall what was wrong with the crowd, but there was something wrong, for sure

Interesting picture, Antonio!

I wonder why did you keep the other door in the frame on the right?

[Alis]

I admit, this could easily be a SCP! Just wanted to show his broad shoulders
