Strictly Private Viewing

[Overbeyond]

It was nice to get the time over the holidays to get some work up to date. This is actually one from the outing with the boys at Kew gardens. Love to hear how you feel about this.

Boy, this is a tough one to judge. I for one like the photo and its uniqueness is quite cool...The only thing that stands out to me and it is likely my monitor since I am not on the best of computers right now is it looks a tad noisy...I also think that if it had a single person to left or to the right seated, it would add allot to the photo...All in all, I like it.

Sweet, Looks like a Tuna special. Nice work Tom.

Only thing that I can find to nit at is the chairs being clipped a little on left and a bit on right.....not much of a prob if at all. I like it!

I think this is a good find and your composition brings it back alive. I see some hint of the noise jgredline points out, but at this size it does not bother me and hard to say what would happen in a large print. I have a feeling it would look well regardless. The clipped chairs on each end work for the good imo. the large border works really well for this image. I feel as though i'm looking through a window at a viewing room.
Good stuff

Maybe a bit too symmetrical.

Thanks everyone. I agree about the grain and perhaps it could be cleaner. Thr grain really appeared when I tried to give the back wall a little lift up from complete blackness. I should really asked one of the boys to sit on the chair second from left, not looking at the screen but in a slumped head down asleep position. But they were elsewhere playing with condensation. Your right jgredline.

I like the composition. I wish I knew what was on the screen. If you did have a person sitting....I wouldn't care what was on the screen and would consider the person the subject instead.

I like this composition a lot. The lit chairs and where the lights are in the frame are very nice.

Could you go back there and make the screen bigger? ;-)
