Challenge: Letting Go (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro
Location: My Apartment
Date: Feb 7, 2004
Aperture: 4.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/45th
Date Uploaded: Feb 8, 2004

 I took dozens of shots where we dropped the ring and caught it in the air. None looked natural, so I decided on simplicity and chose this pose.

I used unsharp mask, cropping, levels, and I switched modes a couple of times to get the color.

Too dark for me. I would also prefer to see a more natural and interesting background here. Perhaps the hand off taking place at an apartment door or other natural place.

Nice idea unfortunately lacks drama from absence a interesting lighting. A bit too dark.

Nice picture, great choice of color. Nice composition, but I'd add more light.

I like the idea. Too underexposed for my taste and I'd have cropped way in on hands.

I don't like the darkness of this shot and I would have liked more detail on the ring, so you could tell for sure what it is.

More light would have helped me connect with the hands.
