 heyah, peeps! NOISE is a fact of life...learn to love the noise, love the grain.

while i appreciate you're taking the time to comment, please go back and look at the image and ask yourself if the noise really matters.

this image is about a moment, about their expressions, about their interaction. those are more key elements to photography than worrying about noise.

10 out of 10 for the title, made me look again and enjoy the moment. That's what dpc is about, not the perfect noiseless image. The expressions fit perfectly. Well done. should have done better IMHO.

The kids are STILL living at home?! And here I keep thinking they'll grow up and move out eventually. Picture is a bit noisy but I like the hint of a smile onher face.

This kind of make me a bit queasy. Humor far exceeds any other advertisement for a photo. I dig the honesty within the faces of the people on the screen. As a candid realness perhaps better expressed as reality, which shows through the exposure, composition, and textures in this photo. And as the old saying goes-it's like riding a bike- you have to get right back on and not worry about skinning your knee.

A wonderful little slice of time. These people are full of character and you have captured it well.

Not a bad photo. Seems to be a lot of noise to me though... I think i would also like it better if it was not cropped so closely.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
