Challenge: Free Study VIII (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Location: Enormous Room in Boston
Date: Apr 16, 2005
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/20
Galleries: Candid
Date Uploaded: Apr 18, 2005

 This photo is straight out of camera with no toning, taken with my 50mm f/1.8 in a bar called Enormous Room in Boston. I was in Boston for the VII seminar...I've never been so inspired and I thought this photo appropriately represents everything I love about photography: human emotion, the perfect moment, nice light...

The only thing I'm unsure of is the title, but I don't have much time to submit as I just got home today (18th) at 8 am after a 12 hour drive.

What?!? 499 ?!? This is so under-rated!!!
I'm sure it is only due to the large amount of DPCers who has too dark screens.
If they missed that tiny light halo above the girl's shoulder, they missed the entire photo.

I think it's beautiful.
A little more light behind the people, to make their outlines stand out a little more would make this photo better, but I still like this one.
I like the shallow DOF, the tones, the silhouettes and the idea behind the photo.

A little more definition on the kissers would have been nice!

Some light on the faces would give more drama here,If you didn't put KISS into the photo name I have no idea what is going on here.

Since the sillouette is the main subject and not something you can focus on the background I think should be in focus.

i think i see what you're after, but don't think you got quite enough detail and/or outline along the left of the subject to really bring it out. there's just not enough there to keep me engaged.

I think think photo would have been better with a little more light on the people in it. I can't tell if they are really kissing or faking... :-)

This would be much cooler if there was a little light inbetween them to show the kiss a bit better. I have a bright LCD monitor and this still seems much too dark. I know you were going for a mysterious and dark feel....but honestly, it needs a little more to work. Nice idea and capture though.

you can't tell from the photo, not enough light on the subject to determine what is happening

They seem a little too silhouetted, if you get what I mean.

Way to dark, or not enough light behind the subjects.

I think it is far too dark and as a silhouette it is not working for me. Sorry.

More passion and power would be revealed if light could be seen between these two faces.

Nice lighting idea, but, too dark and too hard to make out what they're doing from the photo.

Hard to tell without your title...a little more light peaking through between them, maybe through the neck, would have improved this greatly for me...
