While I think you did a fine job of balancing the amount of light on your son and allowing the sunset to still be visible and well exposed, the choice of on camera flash caused a harsh look. Further, the use of an appropriate gel to modify the color of the light from the flash to better match the light from the sunset would have really evened out the light.
For me, the balance of the colors of the light (harsh blue flash light and the soft warm oranges from the sunset) conflicted with each other.
Like others have stated, it is a great photo of your son and you SHOULD be proud of it. But for next time, get a set of gels so you can really make this one stand out for the rest of us! |
