Nice double portrait! I like the skin tone, its like glowing, and a very sharp images...good job!

hi,

i am impressed with your photo :) i love the darkness, i like it so much that, for me, it becomes equally as important as the two subjects in the photo :)

thanks for sharing :)

Hello Jan,
This is a striking image. The skin tones are luminous while the off center composition creates interest. Excellent pp work.

Hallo Jan,
Dit portrait ziet er zeer professioneel uit. Mooie belichting die hun donkere huid knap doet uitkomen tegen de - eveneens donkere - achtergrond.
Ook de pose en de gelaatsuitdrukking van moeder en kind zijn zeer expressief. Ze kijken niet naar elkaar, staren zelfs wat meditatief voor zich uit, maar je voelt hun verbondenheid.
Het enige wat ik persoonlijk niet zou hebben gedaan, is de "tone softening", maar - zoals ik al aangaf - da's persoonlijk.
TFS & groeten,
Erik

Hi Jan, great double portrait, love the skin tones, they seem to glow. Off centre framing and black backgroung work well to focus the attention. The blue shirt adds just enough colour. Thanks
Rob

This one works better than the previous

I like the eye contact from both, and the deep colours of the background, and their skin.

Nice off-centre composition.

Hey Mangoman. Wonderful doubleportrait. Nice skinsoftening and lightning. Also placed on the right side of the image is very well chosen.

ciao Jan
an really intense mood here.. expressions, pose and entire composition, of your family, are so deep and full of feelings!! a lovely sight.. a lovely embrace.. effective indeed! many thanks
ciao Marco

An amzing picture ... the contrast is fantastic and the skin tones are soft. How did you get the skin soft like this in CS3 ? I am trying to do it as well, but it's quite difficult

Great portrait, Jan! Sharp with a nice 'glance'. Do I sense some NeatImage in it? The darkness indeed adds the extra to it.

Dit is Ok Helemaal eens met Erik Sven.

Hello Jan,

This really is an amazing portrait.
The smooth skin looks like silk and the engaging expressions look right into your heart!
Usually, I would have said the people should have the space in front of them, not behind them, but your breaking of the rule makes the people more forceful and intent.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your warm comments on '2 Years on TL'.
