Hi All, My wife would like to hear what different photographers think if this composition works or not: http://flic.kr/p/9mbxex She took this photo at a business event. Second question is what would you do differently (change the composition/crop..) - without moving/orchestrating people, - so

Well if you mean this one: P1040438 I'd adjust the color a bit... looks like it needs a bit of blue (well , on my bus anyway) .. and crop the top off just above the head of the guy on the left ...as the ceiling lights kinda get in the way... but she captured sweet, natural

It's close to working. But I think there's too much dead space at the top of the frame. If it was framed lower to include the fee of the two figures in the rear, it would work better. But I like the mix of near and far figures. Paul On Feb 26, 2011, at 6:01 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: Hi All,

I, generally, agree with Ann. I just don't discern missing blue. Think I'd, also, suggest cropping the top, but leaving some space above the guy's head and using the clone tool to eliminate what remains of the ceiling light. While at it, I'd remove the light reflections on the green doors
