School's out in Maninjau Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was walking along the road as school came out. I was suddenly confronted with dozens of students dressed in the uniform in the photo - most were shy and did not want to be photographed, but these two were great subjects.

I'm a sucker for people shots, and schoolchildren in uniforms provide great opps for such. Well composed with a good background. I do have one question, though. You say that u used flash, yet their faces seem underexposed. I'm curious as to how this might have happened?

Yes, Campbell, how come their faces are so under-exposed, a shame, as they posed for you with such affection showing for each other. Beautiful little children!

Really well composed double portrait, for the disposition of both girls and the simple but effective choice of colors. I only miss more light over both girls' faces, mainly the taller one. Maybe you should have opened a bit more the diafragma (f4.0, for example), or used a longer exposure time. Regards.
