Belly Shots

Last week I took these photos at a local park. A few people have asked what I shoot with, a 1980's Minotla x-700... here I am trying to do her justice...

First photo is a great shot, even in the hard light of the midday sun :thumbsup:
Notice the depth of field thing I spoke about in the other thread? See how the reeds are so much less distracting due to the fact that they are blurred out (vs the stark sharply focused bricks behind the couple in the other photo)?

yes, i see what you mean. i was a little more researched with my photography here... many trips to the library prior

I agree with jetrim the first one is good. Maybe crop just a little off of the top make it an 8x10. The second one is just to centered. Take some off of the bottom there. good work. What film did you use?

First shot looks nice, I like it. Second shot I'd crop off a decent potion of the bottom/foreground to move your subject out of the center of the frame.

Thank you for the feedback, I used Kodak B&W 400

I agree with some off the top of the first one but on the second photo I would crop everything out above a half inch above her head and also everything from about a half inch below her leg to the bottom of the frame. Nice shots, Jeff
