People at SFF 160804 (Marina-ECP exit)

wkcheah76 · 16th August 2004

A little gal waiting anxiously for the fireworks to start. She does a SENANG DIRI as she remembers the little green people she saw on TV on 090804. (A bit under, but that was the lighting at that time, rather gloomy day..)

A heart warming moment, as parents change diapers. A bit soft, but moment is priceless.

Any comments?

I would say u captured the mood pretty well. I can feel the bustling environment, and the occasional curious kid staring at things that interest them.

However, the grain or blotchiness is distracting. The first shot would do well with some fill flash, although I know its hard with candid. I find the first image lacks a bit of punch in terms of saturation and contrast, not sure how I could have done better though..... anyone can suggest ? Composition could be tighter.

The 2nd shot, hmm.... the BnW toning seems harsh to me.
