How do I look?

I love this. The two characters performing their actions as if on cue. A tremendous capture. The almost-silhouetting just emphasizes the story. The background is faded into light, so provides only an interesting composition of shapes with strong diagonals, and no distractions. A really wonderful photo.

This doesn’t offend me at all. I appreciate your time and effort trying to make my picture look better and thank you for that.

Now I should tell you that this shot is pure candid, so I didn’t have too many choices. I played with image quite a bit before submitting it. I tried different crops as well. Finally I submitted the one with two people for two reasons:
1) It tells the story.
2) From my experience with DPC I know that very thin photos don’t score very well on challenges.

Valeriy.

The lovely Star of India... nice day in San Diego! Love that ship. Nice perspective to show the chain, too.
