Thank you for sharing your beautiful portrait, "On the phone".in this contest. It is a wonderful shot full of tender emotion and perfectly framed. I love the subdued colors of the background and the contrast with blue shirt and pants. The lighting is amazing, with the hint of reflection on the background cabinets. The setting has just enough objects to add interest without distracting. It appears you have captured the essence of your subject. In my opinion, this is a perfect example of how to create a portrait. I could study it for hours and learn from it. Congratulations on an amazing photograph..
I love the expressions on these two people. They seem totally at easy with each other and oblivious to the camera. Nothing about the shot feels staged. So much is being communicated, yet much remains unsaid. The viewer is left to wonder about the relationship between the subjects. Have they just met?--or have they known each other for years? Great thought-provoking photograph.
Your "Outline of a couple" spoke volumes to me. I love it. The angles of the subjects, and lighting provides just enough of a glimpse into these individuals to produce and maintain visual interest. The body language between the subjects is powerful. It must have taken quite a while to get everything set just right. My only suggestion would be to remove the smudge in the upper right corner. Otherwise, this is a wonderful and unique interpretation of communication.
WARM WELCOME!. It is amazing what a small gesture like a smile and a wave can communicate. I love the warmth emanating from this shot and the welcoming greeting from your subject. The red geraniums on top of the boat add to the happy, carefree vibe. of the scene The vibrant colors of the boat and her cute little dog provide the perfect finishing touch to a very nice photograph. Congratulations on a great capture.
