Longing

[neo2810]

This was just a quick snap taken during our New Years Day meal but I quite liked the story it told. I'd have preferred the glass to have had a little wine left in but my wife is an alcoholic

Anyway, I call it "Longing"

Like the mood of it Neo..only fault I see which spoils it for me is the smudge marks around the top of the glass where your lasses lips have been but I know that couldnt be helped as it wasnt a staged shot.

Like the way your little one looks like hes staring at the glass as if to say fill it up

Good shot, great title, but a little bit too much DOF for my taste the bokeh is a little too overpowering with such a weak focal point on the main subject matter.

Totally agree... thought about "getting rid " in PS but for a shot which is a bit of fun it's not worth it.

Know what you mean Matt... I know how I'd stage it, but not sure it's a shot I'm particularly bothered about getting right

That's fair enough then mate, as I said though it's a great title for the shot and being an incidental then it does it's job spot on.

Nice pic mate

Have to agree a bit more detail coming through in the background would have been nice but it is a cool shot and the title does work well.

Now, given that you took it on the spur of the moment, it's a great shot. Had you staged it, I think it'd be a real cracker

[neo2810]

lol... you're all being way too kind. It's a flawed shot, I can see that, however there is still something I like about it...

Cheers for the comments

Bokeh is hefty to say the least. Would have been better if the mullered Mrs had been the OOF subject but nice shot.

Yeah then it would look like a romantic meal/drink

Cool tho..

Great idea

I like it especially as it is not staged but I am not sure that the two subjects work that well together.

If Neo has shot in RAW which I know he does, everything is in colour. Even if you set your camera to use B/W or one of those portrait/landscape/faithful modes, the RAW file is always in colour and always just the plain un-processed image

I learned this by deliberately setting the camera to b/w one day, took a shot in RAW, got it into Lightroom and it was in colour

Yup...

The colour looks ok, and the shot would look better with CJ processing I reckon but it's not good enough to warrent any more time on
