hi Christophe Richard . First of all it is ok to right in your own language if you aren't comfortable using English. Our community is multi lingual ;) As for your photo, this is what I think: 1) composition is solid in my opinion, the moment is captured very well. It tells a story 2) subject isolation - well, isolation is not always a priority for story telling compositions. I'd probably use an aperture like f/5.6 or 6.3 on my Cannon on this kind of composition to draw the main characters clearer than the surroundings but also to bring enough details of the walls and the wood on the picture. This is a matter of a personal preference, despite f/2 the details are well visible on your picture as well. 3) Lighting - good ambient light. In my opinion the face of the woman and her hair seems gray - potentially due to highlights. You may want to take them down or increase the contrast a little selectively on this part of the image. 4) distortions - it does not bother me too much but there is a bit of a vertical distortion that you may want to correct. 5) all in all - I like the picture very much. It is dynamic and interesting and the settings are balanced enough.
Michael Mossiagin I also liked reading your analysis (: incidentally, I disagree about 3, since it is like an older woman is casting light on the work of a younger woman, as it is (I also like the natural distortion, as it matches the table-legs and focusses on the work))
I was going to mention the 'Please feel free to post in your native tongue.. Modern language translators are mostly accurate, but I was beaten to it.. Did you lighten the facing subjects face in post? or it is fill flash? it seems very bright to me, I would consider darkening the corners (vignette) to bring the subject up more.. I do like the photo in general.

ReplyDeleteChristophe Richard no problem. I hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteMartin Cooke you are probably right... I'm still not totally satisfied with the resulting tone... This is purely a matter of a personal taste.
ReplyDeleteMartin Cooke thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteHello Christophe Richard

Kevin Vincent merci, je n'ai pas utiliser de flash. merci a tous pour vos avis.
