#11..first thoughts

JAG

I have several ideas for this shoot but this is the first one....I call it "Quiet before the storm...brotherly love." Your thoughts please...like or dislike?


EDIT: The second image...is this getting any better or should I try something completely different?:scratch

Practice practice practice!

You and I must think alike. I had an idea for my nephew to stand behind his sleeping father with a balloon and pin!

I love it I can here that trumpet blast in her poor ear.

Remember that old saying about paybacksrofl

I think the name and idea certainly fit the image. So, in that, you have been extremely successful. However, i find the image a little boring - not too artistic in its composition.

I tend to agree with you! Thanks all for your honest opinions. My focus on the shoots have been alittle off as I am preparing to go on a cruise for two weeks. I leave in 10 days! Woo hoo!

#1 is awesome. I'm glad you entered that.

So good.

Does Anyone Think The Second Better?
Thanks idiom for your post. I'm still not sure which I like better or if I should just try and reshoot. This is the first photographer's block I have ever had! :bash

I like the second one a lot more Joyce

I'm with Dan. I like the second one much better as well. You can see "loud" much better in that one than in the first one. Your son's "Dizzy Gillespie" cheeks indicate he's making a loud noise on the trumpet and the direction in which you got your daugher's hair to blow correlates well to that. The only thing that would improve on the first composition is if you can get your son's hair to blow back in correlation to your daughter's voice.

The first one is cute but does not speak loud to me. He hasn't made a sound yet because your daugher is still sleeping. That particular photo says "surprise" or "anticipation" to me.

I HUGELY prefer #2. It's cleaner, clearer and brighter (the lighting is nicer, too - very pretty lighting), which somehow enhances the "volume" of it. The only thing I don't like so much is the bw clothing at the bottom (can't tell if it's her skirt or his pants) - it distracts from the clarity in the rest of the picture and takes my eye away from the trumpet and her face.

I like it a lot!

Thank you all for your response. I hope I get a chance to reshoot but its going to be difficult as I only have about a week to prepare for my cruise and I still have to finish up some work from a previous photo shoot. I too like the second better and I do note all the great comments on how to improve it. I hope I get a chance to. Thanks again...you all are the greatest!
