Thanks. The hand which is sort of suspended over the table,was of a creative person. I realised that he emoted (if there is any such word) with his hands apart from his very expressive face. I wanted to capture it. I believed that all that clutter on the table ,was also telling a story of a time well spent. So I concentrated on these two aspects and put everything else in a background. Many people have found this photo too dark,though I hold onto my views.
I thought the same as grandfathersky: there is an interesting contrast between the really bright table and the diners in shadow. It produces a very interesting feeling.
The photo is a bit too dark for my taste, but it looks like you had a good time.
Many people felt that. Please recheck. I have made it slightly less dark now. Let me know what you think.
Much better!
Thanks.
I like the strong contrast…. The focus is the chaos on the table, not the diners….
Yes! Thanks.
very evocative image….
Thank you very much!
Fantastic lighting Sonali… so dramatic 🙂
Thanks a lot 🙂 !!!
Very nice indeed – the white hand does look suspended! Adrian
Thank you Adrian.
I found so much action in this photo……. the cluttered crucible of center and the life that has resulted – crystallized out of that active center………
