Eric's coments are as always good. I love the creative use of back light and the misty background is good. Bit more time and a look at detail is needed but see it later and the moment has passed. Eric and I have had to make our living pleasing clients who want perfection in every photo for their advertisng material. Chris you are taking pictures for fun and are doing well, enjoy your photography.
And of course for press work we weren't allowed to edit images ....so looking for unwanted detail becomes second nature.
I remember covering an opening ceremony at a Best Western hotel extension with the local MP cutting a ribbon. I was there on behalf of the hotel (who were my clients) but the press guys were there in force...well 6 of them
Anyway halfway through his speech I noticed the honourable Henry Bellingham MP had his jacket pocket flap half in and half out or the pocket slit. As Sod's law would have it he wouldn't address the crowd to the right and hide that imperfection ...he kept looking at the photographers....typical MP.
Anyway I grafted his left pocket over the offending right one...even got the pin strip aligned.
My image was sent to the local rag by the marketing manager for the hotel....and that's when the bun fight started.
Must admit I found it amusing being accused of fabricating images of an MP by some newspaper plonker. Ironically I know Henry reasonable well having had several dealings with him over the years. Were he not speaking at the time I would have pointed out his dress code was wanting....but you never interrupt an MP in full flow.
