Dear Matej, thank you for your comments, I too- am bugged by the metal leg- i thought of trying to erase it in photoshop and here is the result!I also rotated it for you , but I like it better the other way- maybe I am "off-kilter" . :-) Thanks so much, Marianne
A lovely, emotional photo. I find it a bit unnatural looking at them at this angle, I'm very much inclined to tilt my head. Maybe you could try rotating the photo 90 degrees clockwise; it wouldn't be the original take, but it would let me appreciate both their expressions.
The lighting you have here is very good. Initially I thought a bit more contrast wouldn't hurt, but looking at it longer I believe it's quite good enough as it is. The catchlights in their eyes are wonderful, and it's a good thing that there aren't any unwanted reflections in the man's glasses. Excellent job with the light.
The metal leg is disturbing as it seems to be growing out of the man's chest. I realise that the strength of the capture lies elsewhere, but still things like this are good to watch out for as they can ruin an otherwise perfect photograph.
