We made a fake boxing ring out of electrical cords and punching bags. This is my very patient personal trainer, vs. my wife's trainer. Used Photoshop to convert to B&W, crop, adjust contrast, sharpen, and add border.

This was a classic situation of having 100 photos from the session to choose from, and I should have picked a more dynamic one. I was in love with the composition and squelched my concern that it looked too staged. The people (en masse) did not overlook that little wrinkle! One thing that came out of this was that I realized that photographing people is harder and more fun than still life. And stdavidson, I'm a real hotshot, that's why. :)
Funny comments about being staged, as if you might actually expect to happen upon a man and woman boxing during the challenge week. Personally, I thought it was an excellent setup.
What I want to know is how do you and your wife each rate personal trainers of your own? :)
DonNt look like a conflict to me it look like a setup. I know that most conflict we get to see in this challenge ARE setup but it's just not so obvious. Your picture quality is good, I really really like your lighing, the B&W treatment is good too. (6)
This is a nice photo technically, but it looks too staged or plain for the subject matter. I think the cleanness of everything here works against you some in this case.
Not bad...doesn't do anything for me personally, but does reflect the topic. The lighting on the woman could be a little better. I like the choice of B/W
Seems set up still. Maybe it would be better to include some motion in this shot (slower shutter speed and showing moving hands and preferebly a slight movement in his head). Good framing and good expression on her face.
