About the Image(s)
Title: Cousins
At this time of year, I find it suitable to look over the family picture archives. Hardly any are suitable for this group, as they are almost all “snapshots.” But this one had a bit of attraction because of the contrast between the expressions of two of our grandchildren.
Technically, I had to work with one on the left with a fair complexion and the one on the right with a dark complexion. I am interested in comments about that in particular.

Well done, Stephen! (Technically, I think the conversion-exposure is spot on!)
You have taken a snap-shot (or perhaps better said, "common-photo") and indeed, have presented the viewer with two intriguing subjects: their "apposing" facial expressions, now front and center (without distractions), can easily manifest various narratives. Love it!

How nice to hear from you, Lance, about my common-photo. Thanks for the exclamation points. Posted: 12/04/2024 05:59:32
The tonality of the two faces looks fine as is. I like the eyes of the girl on the right: Who is she looking at ? And is it for approval? or what?
The white clothes (???) on the bed in upper left support the idea that this is a family snappie. fun. Posted: 12/09/2024 13:39:37

Both girls complexions look good. I like the expressions on the two girls. One has a pouted lip and the other is looking out of the frame. The girl on the right looks very natural with her hair on her face. I like the folder arms of the girl on the right.You did a very good job of converting to mono, and going with monochrome was a great choice. Posted: 12/10/2024 15:48:44
