Thumb-up Thumb-up    from suchit/Suchit (24,339) Send mail to this user on July 16, 2010 1:33:12 PM CDT (1) Early critique

I think the little girl is a star in this picture. Just the right candid smile and expression, the body language and pose. The boy seems unsure of the affection which actually makes this a cute picture. If this was shot 17 years ago, it would be fun to see how the two of them look now (and maybe even shoot them and put them up together in a collage. Maybe its the scanning process but the sharpness is missing and I suppose the light was low.

The moment has been captured magnificiently, just in right time. To emphasize the athmosphere, a tighter composition (more cropping to fill the frame) would have made this a winner. Additionally, I can see a slight overexposure (0.3 stop).

Thank you very much Reijo for your review. You are right, this picture is a bit overexposed. I'll try another crop. Regards, Rosario.

I think the line in the background above her head could be cloned out without ruining the photo. Their expressions, particularly her smile and body language/hand placement are absolutely fantastic. This is only a 1TU photo for me but it's such an excellent capture I can't help but smile.

Jay, Thank you for your words and advice. You are right, the photo quality is not very good, because it is an old photo of film. Regards, Rosario.
