not very abstract :D they are very nicely lit, though I’m not mad on the first one. the character in the background merges with the king in the foreground and detracts from him. the king is also a bit too central in the frame for the composition to be effective. as he is looking away it might be nice to have a bit more ‘leading space’ in the direction he is looking?
i like the processing in the second. having the human element of the hand adds a lot. it also makes the image ‘say’ a bit more. i think the grain works well
hi isabella. was not sure what category to put this in. thanks for looking and i do see that now with the first one. would look better without the one behind the king.
