I think I prefer it the way it is. The leading lines through the tunnel work well for me. Only issue it that it would be nice to have something at the end of the walkway to give it a bit more focus.

Comment by nikolaos:
I would agree, a little bit on the left at a lower angle. The celling is a little claustrophobic in this angle (probably because the road goes up in the distance).

this is a great subject. I like the lighting works very well. The composition could be moved to the left a bit. What would be way cool.. get a tripod and set the timer, run to the area where the sun is..your shadow would give it an interesting effect too.

Comment by jdannels:
The moment is perfect. I agree with the other commentors about a levels adjustment. For input levels I tried (5, 1.59, 216) You can load those up in the dialog box. My thought process was that I looked at the histogram and saw that there was some empty space on the right and moved that slider until it was into the histogram. THen the middle slider to lighten the midtones, then moved the far right to darken it and give a bit of contrast in the dark bits. Another way that may help before you shoot is to use center-weighted or spot metering modes. This will have your camera make the exposure reading from the middles, which may have made your background really bright but the face and moment would be just right. :)

Comment by bassbone:
what a great face and a great capture of a fun moment - reading a few of the other comments, i tend to agree with the lighting / contrast - the background seems to overwhelm the image and the faces a bit

Lol I am laughing at the stalker comment. I understand that, and so do my kids hehe. I agree with what everyone said about the levels adjustment. I have also been playing around with idnic's "Move the Light" tutorial, in conjunction with Brightness/Contrast and Levels and I'm addicted. Your niece has very pretty eyes, btw and I bet she is fun to photograph!

I love this candid shot and the happiness you caught. The lighting is wonderful and I like how your niece is wearing a dark color and the lady whose lap she is sitting on is wearing white. It separates the two individuals nicely.

Comment by trevytrev:
nice capture of her expression, really makes the shot. i feel that a boost in the contrast to lighten her face might help the photo but very nice none the less.

Those candid moments are priceless and you've captured it well. Deb nailed it with levels adjustment; feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
