After the Wedding by Daniel De Cort, QPSA

September 2019 - After the Wedding

About the Image(s)

The photo was made in Ronda, Spain.
On a Saturday morning a wedding took place. After the ceremony the guests where waiting for their cars.
I took this opportunity to make some pictures of the well dressed ladies.

I used: 1/500 sec, f6,7, ISO 2000, 240 mm.

Daniel, good contrast of the subjects against the high key background from which they are separated. The two ladies are very sharp, and the one with the hat is trying to say something to the other who is showing her in a very subtle way, her middle finger (of course, not on purpose....) Using the select subject option in photoshop, which did a very good job selecting both ladies, I just had to fine tune it, then you reverse the selection and using the brush tool at a very low hardness of only 5 % I cleaned the upper half of the background removing all the distracting elements. I left the lower half to have some background present.   Posted: 09/03/2019 13:13:37

Thanks Isaac, your adjustment is really an improvement .   Posted: 09/20/2019 03:40:06



 
Daniel, I love it, and the middle finger leaves the subject of conversation to our imagination. I like the soft bright background and Isaacs adjustments make for a more appealing image. Thank you Isaac for the Photoshop select subject instructions.   Posted: 09/09/2019 17:40:47

Daniel, the lady in the "black hat" gets my vote. I believe that she carries the image all by herself and her hidden profile with red lipstick adds to the mystery. For this reason - I think she deserves a solo performance.   Posted: 09/12/2019 12:56:38

Good idea, thanks Gloria   Posted: 09/20/2019 03:41:17



 
Beautiful candid, nice lighting and attractive colors. The expression of the lady on the left gives us a touch of their unspoken conversation. So, I believe that the presence of the both ladies is more meaningful. I like the edit of Isaac as well.A little crop from the left side deleting the the small unwanted area would help more I believe.   Posted: 09/21/2019 07:06:22
 
The expression of the lady on the "right" I mean   Posted: 09/23/2019 05:09:22



 
Intriguing photo. The lady on the right seems to concentrating on the other lady's words. Just seeing the left lady's lips reinforces this. The wide brimmed hat adds a sense of mystery. What is the secret they are sharing?   Posted: 09/29/2019 22:22:15
