Here is a good example of a Triptych. The faded 3 primary colors really make this picture stand out beyond all the rest. There are a few things that you could do to inprove this image.

1. Lower the drop shadow effect some. It's over powering the images.
2. Show more of your subjects. I think they are bit dark for a color image but would make it stand out in a B&W. So lighten up your images some.

I really like the background you have used here. I don't know what you did or what you used but I would like to know.

I like the colors of the photos, and the closeness they provide, but I wish I could see their faces more.

nice, but three pics are too similar and don't illustrate the three concepts in your title. too much shadow on the faces for me as well.

Nice photos, the one in the center seems to have to much space at the top for my taste. The faces could be a little lighter to bring out more detail. 6

Great set - Like the moody light

too dark for me, and it seems out of focus, but it might just be the lighting

Not getting the connection between the shots and the tri-title, but that's okay. I love the shots and the colors.

I like the darkness of the image on the right because it makes it very moody, but I'd like to see the two on the left brighter since the subjects are looking at the camera but you can't really see any detail.

Great use of toning

Just my opinion, but the faces seem dark.

Great harmony portrayal.

I really like your idea here. I think the fact that they aren't in sharp focus really takes away from this. Also, the middle image should have their heads level with the two on the sides. The color change in each is very pretty & would have been more then enough to separate all three.

I would prefer them to be set higher in the center image rather than lower.

soft, tender and charming...

The shadows and softness detract from this series sorry

I like the shadow play and softness but think I'd prefer they all be in the tones of the one to the right. I like the drop shadow.
