3 Girls

[mdmc]

This is one of the better pics I got at a party. Any suggestions to improve this is appreciated.
Specifically the bg, what to do w/ the buildings, white fence. what about the girl on the right's left hand, sexy or digging a wedgee? Her earing reflections, leave alone, darken, or clone? Colors?(I think they all work at a tanning salon),. contrast? Cropping?
Thanks,
Mark.

Interesting shot. I love the background colors and overall, the colors work. I think the girl interlinking arms seems a bit unnatural as it seems a little 'gimped' with her wrist going at a 90 degree angle. The background is a tad busy, but it works well with the flash/lighting you used to only focus on the girls rather than the whole background. The fence in the bottom right though is a tad distracting, and you might want to burn that out.

Other than that, a nice shot with a few things you can fix!

Nice going,

Jared

If you set your clone tool to darken, you can clone out those hot spots on the faces. And unless her hand was higher up, I'd go with wedgie. I'd clone the earrings on the girl on the right but leave the ones in the middle. The buildings don't bother me, there isn't a lot of detail in them. But the fence is kinda distracting.

For a quick capture the moment at a party this is nice. But if you were going for more of a "portrait", it could use a once over. Also, watch out for those fingers at the bottom.

Adina, Thanks for posting,
I appreciate you taking the time to give me your thoughts.
Yes, its a party snap, But I don't shoot people very often and I was happy to get the sky as a bg.
Anyway, I think this is the best way to fix most of the problems, and now its a matter of fixing blown highlights.
Thanks again,
Mark.
