We can see there is quite a bit of pp in here but let me say the end result is very good. It would be interesting to have a look to the original shot.

Hi David,
The amount of effort you went to to present this image is well rewarded with this superb capture. Sometimes post can be such a saviour.
Lovely expressions on the faces of these two boys, wonderful capture of a special moment in time.
Cheers

Hi David,
fantastic double portrait!! Their faces are so expressive. Very good framing, but I must write that I prefer the version from WS, without PS work! Great shot David. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Hi Dave
Excellent work, the ranges between shadows, mid-tones and highlights are nothing short of superb with excellent skin tone colours. The faces are very expressive, with first rate definition, especially in their mouths and eyes.
Cheers

Superb double portrait, I can see indeed that there is a lot of PP but I like it a lot that way !
Congratulations, looking forward to seeing more of this (their way of looking at you is really great !),

hi David

Very nice portrait with such a strong expression. Very good capture, I must say. It looks like coal miners with smeared faces.

Although I prefer your WS original without pp work which looks more natural and I always prefer that.

But both are good work.

tfs, bill

I think both images are equally good. I don't object to PP work at all and the result is good, but then so is the original. The boys both have very intensive stares which you have captured so well; somehow enhanced by the catchlights in their eyes. The tight crop works well for an intimate feel. The only thing I would say is I would have wished to have the younger boy's chin in shot. Did you send them a copy?

Hello David
The quality of the original is very good & the first thing I noticed was your PP has enhanced the twinkle in their eyes. Like your tight crop for the double portrait. This could have been shot in Shivajinagar, Russel Market...would you remember?

Hey David,
I love this shot with such a tight crop squeezing them both into the frame. Great expressions and direct eye contact. Your pp work has created a nice effect where the shot almost looks more like a painting, but I like the original one too.
Regards
Wanda

The PP makes it a little unreal but so great for the brotherhood mood.
And the guys look really cool, friendly and simply great.
Very well done, cropped and PPed.
