Hi Nicola,

How's this?


Unfortunately, the much tighter crop reveals the subject's movement (shot at 1/160s, f/5 and iso400)

I did do a bit of extra desaturation and dodging to reduce impact of extraneous picture elements that didn't aid the composition I created in cropping.

Cheers,

Dave
thanks for the feedback!
I know... there is too much motion blurr...
here below I've tried to don't crop too much and have cloned out the face in foreground because it is a bit distracting...

[Nicola]

Wow! This thread is fun...

thanks to Martyn!!

La Roulette


I hope to go in the next weeks to the Viareggio Carnival parade, one of the most important in Italy... there are a lot of political satire!
and by this time there won't be lack of matter!

Hi
thanks to all who posted here!!!
below there is one of the few pictures I've already PP about the Fat Tuesday's party at Viareggio.
In this little sea-side city, every week end on carnival there is a funny parade, where every neighbourhood shows its allegoric wagon builded up during the year. this wagons are followed by many masked dancers.
the pictures are related to a wagon called "space travellers"

welcome Fabiano to CiC!!
and many thanks for your pictures in this thread! these pictures are as nice as the girls in the pictures!:
I'm not the the right person for c&c your beatiful pictures, you should post them in other thread... any portrait-pro member can help me?
any way I prefer the last one, for colour contrast between foreground and background, as well as for DOF.
perhaps pic #1 and #4 are a bit too centered, I would try with another crop: cutting the left end on the #1 and perhaps leaving more room on left-bottom side on #4.. I mean in the direction of girl's sight...
thanks once again for posting here!
