Couple

[Antonio Correia]

I have posted this image before here - fstop-cafe.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=people&thread=946&page=1 - but I was not happy with the way it looked and I decided to change it to black and white.
So, it was not a photograph with the conversion in mind...

Care to drop a line of comment please ? Thank you

All though I have not seen the color version of this image Antonio,this conversion I would think suits this image very well.IMO it shows the love that this couple has for each other stand out more.Great capture as with most of your other portraits.

Hi Antonio, having seen the color version and liking it......I like this a little better as I think the conversion draws us to the expressions. Although I do not like what it did to his sweater. It now looks rather worn.

May be his sweater is worn

Thank you for your comment Paul

Perfect, Antonio!

I'm sorry that I missed the colored version. All that I can say is that it brings an instant and huge smile and, then,... out loud laughter. A perfect moment caught - good reflexes!

Hi Katy,

The colour version is here fstop-cafe.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=people&action=display&thread=946

I prefer your monochrome version, as the facial expressions seem to come over more strongly making for a very relaxed happy photo.

Thank you Katy

Thank you Barry I also prefer the black and white version

Black and White is a definite improvement.

I hope you don't mind but I thought a delicate vignette just toned down the bright curtains and table cloth a bit to focus the eye a bit more of the wonderful expressions.

Lovely picture. I think the adverts used to call it "A Kodak Moment" ;D

[Antonio Correia]

I am going to do it the original !!!

Thank you ! Well done !!!! ;D

[Stevewebb]

Yes beautiful shot. I was going to suggest the same thing. I would go a little further with the vignette. The top left is bright and the bottom third.

Thank you RJBell

The image has a more intimate look ! Well done.
