Nice capture Ian. You did great with not only the exposure, but the depth of field also.

Ian,

You get it,..moreover you have developed a solid eye. To better balance the frame would like more on the right side. This is nice work shooting a pair is hard especially DoF and ensuring the two subjects interact in an interesting fashion. Nice work with the small crop; just curious were you standing or in a lower position; I like the shooting angle but could you get lower?

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks, Jeff. I'll have to think about the room on the right. This is not much of a crop -- would need to add real-estate, I think (don't have the original with me).

Unfortunately, can't get lower here. The Barnegat Jetty looks down on the water and I was down at jetty level when I shot this. There is no beach below the jetty to get down at water level, unfortunately.

Ian,

Thanks for the reply, do not make any changes until others reply the frame is well balanced.
