Juliet and Nurse
Taken in natural light. The position of the lady in yellow was too good to resist and to me, completed the composition. The colours shone in the dark background.
Please feel free to comment.
Thank you

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

I think the bright yellow makes it a bit difficult (initially) to tease out who the subject is. That's compounded by the tightness and portrait orientation of the shot. I don't really know how to fix that. Normally, I would desaturate her (the woman in yellow) a bit, but she might then blend into the background.
I dont think the composition serves that stark contrast of color very well, but I think that's more down to the fact that it was taken in a hallway than any failing on your part. I personally think you did very well given the circumstances.
