Critique Welcomed Floating Girls (Green and Red)

[Brian Moore]

I shot these images at a dance performance in Los Angeles 10 or 11 years ago. I think at that time I had only recently begun shooting digital and my efforts were tentative at best for a long time. I certainly knew nothing about post-processing in those days.

Beautiful scene, very poetic. The green version is more in tune with the (well chosen) title “Floating girls,” they really seem to be floating in the water.

I think so, too, Gianluca. Thank you.

I agree. I think the framing works better too. Did you once post another version? Maybe lift the shadows a tiny touch?

Thanks, Pete. I may at one time have posted one of these, or a version of one. It occurred to me to do some editing, such as lifting shadows, on them prior to posting,...as I am sure I did hardly anything in post when I took them. But, lazy bugger that I am, I couldn't be bothered hunting for the originals in my files.
