First post: Vovo and son

[CHUM]

Hi all - first post here....let me have it

this was a candid shot in natural light....primary focus on my son with Vovo (Grandpa) a little soft around the edges.....

took a bit to get the exposure balanced without a flash.......
shutter 1/80
AV 5.6
iso 800

shot in RAW color...so I flipped to monochrome (which i think works better)....

me like!

if the mans face was a little more lit, it would make this 10000% perfect!

great shot!

Welcome to the forums!
The only thing I see as a negative is that I'd like a little more of vovo's head and less at the bottom.
The dark side of his face doesn't bother me. It works well in b/w which I don't think it would in color.
Nice stuff!

Good tips!.....i'll keep those in mind when framing my next portraits....
