Chapter 7: Telling a story (siblings)

The first one was taken in low light without a flash, although the contrast might be a little low, I love it for the atmosphere it creates (even did a little post production to emphasize this somewhat more). But of course different opinions and tips and tricks to make it all better are more than welcome

I love them both, but I think the 2nd is my favorite.  I love the curve of the arms and the contrast in colors of the clothes.  It shows a real bond there.

The first one is great too.  I like b & w for dramatic effect, but I don't like how the heads are cut off. the composition other than that is wonderful!  I wish I could see more eyes though...

I do love that 2nd one. 

great job!

I think I do see what you mean, it's just that only a little edge of their heads is cut off, this is how it was shot (I didn't crop), but maybe if I'd crop off just even a little more it might work better  , just let me know what you think:

I love the first photo.  The tight shot emphasises their bond and makes we wonder what is so interesting!
The second photo is good, also.  Well done.

Hi ejb Ilike the first one it seems to have much mood.I have not yet learned how to get that in a photograph yet.But the second is probably my favorite.Good job

I think if you cropped equally on all sides it work work even better.  Let their faces, and not the game, fill the frame.  I like it better cropped, though.
