Critique Welcomed Lovebirds at the Getty

[Brian Moore]

Visited the Getty last Monday to see the Oscar Rejlander exhibit before it closed. (Fine exhibit!)

Took the opportunity to shoot my Sigma Quattro SD, which I haven't shot with in many months.

Here is a pair of unknown lovebirds surveying the landscape of West Los Angeles.

Brilliant. What a great pose, and a superb composition too.

I hope it's not Lover's Leap!

You've shared a number of shots of the Getty museum over the years, all good ones as far as I recall, Brian. Nice sky - a real sky, not all blue. I like how you've got the pair just right of centre instead of bang on. Doing so opens up the scene more.

Thanks Rob. I love the drama a brooding sky can offer. This was on Memorial Day, a national holiday over here, and it was alternately rainy and cloudy throughout the day. Loved it! Thanks for the comments Rob.

That is a fine images, the composition works so well. The architectue looks most interesting, like a modern take on the castle on the hill overlooking the city.

Thanks Dave. I love visiting the Getty. For photographers its a target rich environment. And to your point, from many miles to the south (the direction the people in the image are gazing) it appears like a big white modern castle. Thanks again, Dave!

I just have to agree to the former remarks, just great and a beautiful clarity I seldom see in an image.
