This is a classic image. Nice cropping, good contrast, and excellant cooperation from the "models". I especially like the one on the head of the individual getting a hug.

Good work!

Great shot. Has a 'timeless' feel to it. Love the set up of this shot.

Nice black and white too!

Good work and great title. Tough lighting but you made the right choices. Did you set this up or happen upon it?

Another nice shot. Thanks for posting it. My only question is how does it look if the crop was expanded at the lower right corner.... (if it was cropped). This would pull in all wings to the right and maybe give more info on the person.

Hey Chunk,

Hey Tim,

Thx pal

It is an interesting photograph, but I feel the background is a bit busy, especially the black poles. They are just too bold.
I also feel that this photograph would be more interesting and effective if you were able to see some of the person's face. I am sure she had a great expression on her face.
Make sure you are looking beyond the subject at the background, when you are looking through the viewfinder. Backgrounds separate a good photograph from an excellent one!
Keep at it!

Thanks Brian and good morning ;)

I think in a group hug you hardly see any faces...Right? :D

Anyway, things happen so fast and I had move on (with my family) so I snaped two shots
and the one with the dove on her head became my favorite.

Later pal

P.S I took it in San Francisco.....(Where else ;) )

You have a point, and I certainly understand about timing. I was just throwing that out for something to think about the next time.
But definately watch your backgrounds.

I agree about the bg and the lighting was harsh creating very hard contrasts. . . .however, the moment is a good one and can sometimes make up for other shortcomings as I feel it does here.
