A really difficult choice today. There was a nice photo of Fr Britt surrounded by young people, with every eye right on him, but it didn't quite get Britt himself into the picture enough. Then there was a good portrait of Britt looking straight into camera. And then the challenging group shot. Not a masterpiece, but a result, balancing a lot of people, different areas of light, and a couple of remote flashes! I really wanted to get Britt swamped by local people and children and I think the effect might be there!
In the end I went for the one which I think is probably technically the best!
Technically best may not always be aesthetically best. Of the 4 I like the close shot with the children in the background the least. It looked too flat, no apparent depth.
ReplyDeleteI liked the one of him looking into the camera the most, he has a bit of a naughty look, this that you've chosen would have been my second choice, mainly because his arm looks disembodied.
The wide group shot is quite nice too, but its not a photo of him, he plays too small a part in that one (although it might be more expressive of his personality).
