Re: Candid portrait
Hi Bob,
This is a sensitive, pensive and well posed portrait. Pro's: It's emotive and makes you wonder what they're thinking or what news they have just been told. I think it suits B&W but would like to see a colour version too. Cons: I find the background magazine (face on magazine) quite distracting How did you convert this? I find the whites a bit hot, her left cheek and his hand/wrist. Hope this helps. Geoff

Re: Candid portrait
I agree with Geoff. I really like the pose and the black and white but I think perhaps a different treatment. I don't find the magazine distracting but am drawn to the hot spots on the lady's face and the man's hand. Are these blown out in the original?

Re: Candid portrait
The skylight was indeed producing a couple of hot spots, I thought about removing them but in the end I decided to leave them there. The original looks like this ...
Re: Candid portrait
Apart from the hand on the bottom left, I actually really like the colour version.
