Critique Club Assignment:

Initial: This reminds me of my late grandparents. Their whole body language with each other... they are comfortable friends who have been thru it all together. Congrats to them!

Technical: Their natural closeness is depicted well here, however their straight on stance in the composition and the flat lighting leaves a snap shot feel to it. Not that it makes it terrible, .. snapshots are valuable. But if you had been able to do something to kick it up a knotch - like help to arrange their positions to each other, use a more solid background, or leave more space between them and the background to give less dof or focus on the background - then I feel it may have scored higher.

Overall, I love their expressions, and in the end you were right to just catch it.

So..there's the two sides of it :0)

I wonder aloud what this would look like if the background had color, and the hand was in silhoutte. Good shot - nice visual impact. The reflection on the right is a tad out of focus though.

Nice clean sink! The shot is good, but it could be just a little more in focus. I wonder if you had used lighting on both sides if it would improve things. (Backlighting the spigotand eliminate the shadows)

Nice try, but I noticed that the right side is a bit out of focus!
