Thumb-up Thumb-up    from aym924/Ashley (768) Send mail to this user on August 1, 2011 5:51:33 PM CDT (2) Early critique

I like the duality of this photo. The contrast of darkness and light, sun versus shadow. The man pointing towards the sea or away (is that his left hand or right hand!). Old versus young, yet connected and in balance. I would like to see some more texture in the background, but that is beyond your control. Focus and framing are good. And what parent would not be taken by the subject. Similar to your other work, Together Forever. Was this photoshopped? Thanks for sharing.

thanks for your comments... not much photoshopped except for some cropping to frame the picture better

I like the overall softness and quality of this image. It is nicely balanced with the subjects appearing to be observing something out of range of the camera. The foreshortening of the arm of the character to the right has an odd effect for me, which I find distracting. Nice work!

I like the mood of the image and the simple composition.

Not sure about the title. Also, it would be a lot tighter if the man is pointing his hand to the left so it form an implied enclosure with the sun.
