The Lunch

This is a great idea. Sort of like a common scene, played out a bit w/ good camera to be more than a snapshot. I like it for that reason, though I think the execution of the idea could be improved by

- less items, esp in the background. Don't like the way the light is directly behind her head
- more space around the foreground items. The cups and lips are especially too close to, or are clipped by, the edge of the frame. A bit more space above her head too
- she's a little too detached, seemingly purposely looking the other way. Did you guys plan this out or was she simply a reluctant model?

In all, decent shot, but I just want more simplification and eye contact.

Yeah, I am just a beginner. It wasn't a reluctant model just a creepy guy with a camera. We were just finishing up eating and I just picked up my camera, set it and snapped off about 2 pictures. This ones expression was the better of the two.

I see what you mean about the objects in the foreground. I think I cut off the space above her head so I can get the whole cup in the frame.

Clone the guy in the background.
