Hi Kostas, Two nice photographs, the first nicer than the other and I'd like to attempt an explanation, at least of what went on in my mind.
In the first my eye fell on a bright spot towards the top left of the picture and it was a tiny movement to your son's face. The rest of the picture fit the original impression and created an impression of two siblings getting to know each other. Wonderful. In the second my eye was drawn to your son's dark hair because for me it dominated the left (from where I started looking.) A moment for spent deciding if there was anything there worth attention there, deciding there wasn't and moving on. By then some of the expected "moment" was lost. That's a little fuzzy but it's the best I'm able to explain right now. Another thing I liked more about the first picture is that your son is looking directly into your daughter's eyes and that to me brought out the idea (two siblings getting to know each other. Two human beings recognizing one another.) In the second your son appears to be looking at your daughter's eyebrows or forehead. That detracts from the message. All said and done, these are two very nice pictures. Regards, Gautam > -----Original Message----- > On Sep 11, 2005, at 2:28 PM, Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: > > > > > Never posted a PAW before.
