Hi!
Quite nice. I think it could have been better with a little less at the
bottom and a little more at the top (the top right hand window). In fact, if you
could crop it without losing much on either side, it would look a tinge better
with a little less darkness below the podium. But I think you probably couldn't
crop it like that without losing too much on the sides.
That's my brutal. :-)
Quite nice, actually.
Marnie, actually I tried what you suggested on location. That is placing
the lectern (what I nice word) to the right bottom corner. The problem
is that I had to move the lens slightly upwards. Then, I realized I
would have to apply perspective correction and hence loose some of the
pixels to PS.
I also wanted a bit of light in the right top corner...
I am not being defensive here, really. I am just trying to put in words
what I thought while shooting and/or editing the shot.
Your brutal is perfectly fine. I'd rather you were at least that brutal
most of the time ;-).
Thanks.
Boris
