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!
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, camera in one hand, a beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
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.

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?
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.

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.
