[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 152709, member: 1573"] This is a very lovely shot and I think the panoramic crop adds to the impact. The composition is also very pleasing with the variety of poses, lines and angles. Excellent center of interest and storytelling, as well. The only points I would deduct would be for [B]creativity[/B] and [B]technique[/B]. 1. You have some fabulous mixed lighting . . . outside through the window and the inside lamps. These are totally washed out. Whenever I see a set up like this, I immediately bracket for HDR. Even a 3 bracket shot would have helped to add more detail to the bright areas. Whatever "movement" from the men could have been taken care of with "deghosting". 2. As this photo is, you might try to up the contrast and blacks a little to liven it up . . . It's a little flat. I would score your photo [B]10 out of 12[/B] (12 elements of a merit image). Really well done. [/QUOTE]
