    The Night Visitor

    I salvaged this from a poorly exposed original. Personally I have come to like it for its atmosphere.
    Hope it does not come over too dark on your monitors.
    What do you think of it?
    Many Thanks
    Tom

    I like the composition. I had to look a couple a seconds to find the man but the newspaper stuck out.

    I think the darkness helps put the point across though that this is obviously at night, but I think it needs to be a little lighter down by his legs. Just my opinion, good luck.

    Tom,

    Very John Le carre "Spy who came in from the cold" or an illicit romance?

    Excellent composition but its a little dark at the bottom of the picture on my monitor. Another thing is there is a white spot above the bottom window which seems out of place, perhaps a touch of cloning? Other than that looks good.

    Re: The Night Visitor

    Thanks to all for your comments on this one. I appear to have posted it twice for some reason so thanks to those who replied on the second post.
    I agree about the darkness near the bottom and the unecessary bit of white spot above the window now that you mention it.
    I appreciate your thoughts.

    Great capture, I like the composition. I agree to them, the bottom part is a bit dark it needs to be lighten. Anyways, just a suggestion.
