Christopher Hill's picture

What do you see, like, or dislike?

A very impromptu shot on the way out to dinner with the fiance'. One speedlight on the balcony to her left. I've edited this six ways from sunday, and think I finally found a look I like. What do y'all think? What would you do different, and what issues do you see?

The idea is very nice. In my personal opinion it would have more impact if it was cropped closer.

I tried something I hope you don't mind. I attached two examples. It is of course a matter of taste.

I like the post editing,

Thank you for the time you spent on your response! This is EXACTLY why I post here. I agree completely with your crop idea. In my mind this was a more "scenic" shot, and was blown up and printed large format, but I don't think it translates very well small. Unfortunately, this was a very quick couple of shots on our way out the door to dinner, so I didn't take time to get multiple composures. Lesson learned! haha

Keep it up

Hi, Christopher, can you upload the RAW file so we can have a little play with it? it would be great if you would share a dropbox link perhaps?

I've learned that my screen was wayyyy too bright. I had an uncalibrated MacBook Pro on full brightness when I was editing this.

I'll see what I can do about uploading a RAW file.

Too much brightness for me, it don't reflect the real dark ambiance of the scene, and the tone of the little light isn't present at all.
