Photographer's Request for Critique
--Vladimir Funtak
Girls
My mistake: ISO 200 is obviously to low for this light conditions.
Considering my interest in street, candid photos, maybe I should use
one of those "point&shot" camera..What do You think?

I don't think you have an issue with the ISO. Maybe just a tad underexposed. You could adjust that in your editing program. I think that may even be subjective. Other than that Great Picture.-Jim

Thank's. Maybe the white background+low light conditions+low ISO+to big desire to make interesting shot while the girls are at the same place resulted with what we can see...

Vladimir, I have no critique...
except to say that it is fine. You have great exposure on these beautiful women who just light up the scene and the whites are nicely exposed, without a hint of over exposure. Well composed and framed. Lovely work. Regards.

Thank you, guys. This is how the camera had recorded this photo in original, only downsized..

I like the open candour of this shot Vladimir, and one has to take it as it comes (and quickly too) in street shots, and I think you have done well.
Did you try or consider cropping out a bit of the framing wall to minimise the sense of too much whitness overall and to also bring the girls closer to the viewer. I might also try a bit of increasing a bit of contrast and also try to bring out a bit of the midtones too. I think this shot is worth trying to 'improve', if that is the right word. A good capture here.

Your post above crossed mine by minutes. You have already done a magnificent rescue already. Kudos to you again!

Thanks for showing the original. You did a wonderful job saving this great picture. So now you have to ask yoursef, if you had shot at a higher ISO would you have ended up with to much noise to end up with this great result. Just a thought. Wonderful picture and thanks for the conversation. Cheers-Jim

I believe you are wrong. The camera recorded everything but preseted it to you as average middle gray. I am little surprised at the range of detail. If you; overexposed as I read the "iso" comment (and I do not understand what "iso" has to do with anything -ziltch except noise), then I think the whites would wash out all detail. Maybe I am wrong.

Matter of delicate balance, I think. Like always...
