Amado,

Another fine one! Small thought: it can be the jpg quality, but some detail is lost in the high lights. On the other hand: difficult light with a lot of contrast!

Cheers,

Marco

Beautiful, rich shot abounding in textures. I actually like the high contrast...it's fascinating how the loss of detail in the highlights merges the right-hand figure into the window light.

Amado -

Superb in subject, composition, light, contrast, detail and tonal range. To ensure detail of the dark-skinned faces in this type of lighting necessitates blowing out the highlights, but quite frankly, I think the "blow-out" not only doesn't matter, but contributes to the composition

Thank you guys for your time and feedback!!!
I think I may be able to tone down those highlights for printing...
I was not too sure how this would turn out, so I'm happy you all appreciate the effort.

Hope you all don't mind that I share more from the b&w roll.
The available light was just as crazy as the place and constantly changing all the time!

Amado,

What super series! Really stunning the way you handled the two models and worked with the B&W. although all are top, #2 and #4 (sitting with the mirror between them and the two pillars and them looking at each other) are beyond top. I wouldn't mind having those photo's nicely framed in my living room.
