Hi All,

Taken at Couran Cove, my son and daughter holding hands...

Any comments / advice would be appreciated...




Cheers,

ozczecho.

Looks good, maybe could be a little sharper, nice composition

Very nice composition but my eyes keep going to the left hand side. The buildings are overpowering your son and daughter.

If you are handy in the PS scene my suggestion would be to defocus the left hand side and desaturate so that your children become more of the focal point.

yeah i agree with chris,

not sure on the intent of the photo.

if your children are the subject, then they should be in focus with shallow DOF.

I sort of agree with Chris.
I think there are two pix here:

the symmetry of the buildings and reflections
the children strolling along the walkway

On the positive side:

nice lighting
lovely feel in the attitude of the kids

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Maybe I was trying to do too much in the photo, and in reality it should have been two photos....

Anyway I took the advice from Chris and hacked away on the picture in PS. As you can see I am still getting to grips with PS

osczecho - that is a lot better and I hope you see where I was coming from in isolating the subject of the photo - the children.

You could go further on this pic (desaturation of buildings) but I think you have probably had enough PP’ing to last a week or two

osczecho,

The PP shot is much better.

The only other thing I would do is clone out the bird in the top right corner, little distracting.
