    I had posted a similar image with two of them in a frame. Here I could capture three together and with good HA facing each other. This is full frame. Unfortunately couldn't get the feet in :-( But I liked the interaction!

    Hi Sanjeev very nice interaction between the three . I think a tighter crop would help , because the surroundings are not adding a lot to the content , from my POV.
    As i am not a big fan of night photography , it is not a winner for me . And you have better stuff to post , i think. Another issue is the too slow SS . .

    Hi Sanjeev,

    very nice interaction in this one. I like the little ones very much. Feet missing or crop a bit more. The BG, try to get all BG dark like we see the images popping up everywhere with black BG, that might help a bit more.
    I also would tame the highlights more, bring a tad more warm int and lift a few things here and there in the faces.

    have a great eve

    Ciao

    Hi Sanjeev - I agree with the above, nice interaction but it's not working for me due to the comp/crop and the strong spotlight. With spotlit images I tend to try to take a more artsy approach than a realistic one. Along the lines of what Anette suggests, using shadows and light for dramatic effect. You might be able to play with this image and come up with something but as is this is a nice record shot to remember the night sighting. You've got much better images. Sorry.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev, good to see you trying out different shots and camera techs, it's a great way to learn, purely by experimenting and occasions like this they almost channel you in to trying something new. Agree, the interaction is nice, but although some areas look sharp, you SS is not ideal, but proves you have a very steady pair of hands. Like Anette, I'm not a fan of the cropped feet, so I wonder if you just darker everything down, added some Graduate filters so it almost has a spotlight effect just on the heads. It is going away from the original, and manipulated, but just an ideal, quickly done, not that well executed, but hopeful it illustrates what I was thinking?

    Steve, I really liked your idea of adding vignette / darkening the perifery. I never thought of it and I think it looks much better this way.
