p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · My brother on his graduation day (C&C welcome)


My brother took an extended leave from college to care for my dad when he was sick. During that time he found himself and made the decision to someday go back to school and pursue a different major. He finally graduated this past weekend and the look on his face says it all. Our dad would have been proud...

I love that in this sea of graduation caps, you know exactly who your brother is! He looks very proud of himself, and he should be! Since you're welcoming C&C, I would simply crop at the top where the sea of grad caps come to an end. And if I had a choice, he wouldn't be dead center. But regardless of those two small nits, this is a game-winning shot. Just love it!!!

I would crop from top to eliminate the standing people in background, but keep the parents (no hats) seated behind the grads.

Thanks. He received his bachelors of science in kinesiology: outdoor education from UNH. He described some interesting classes where he would survive in the woods for a week at a time, etc. He even said they buried him under a few feet of snow this past winter to help train avalanche dogs! He loves the outdoors and does a lot of rock climbing, hiking, and making trails for each. I certainly would not have passed this program as I prefer the more traditional classroom setting

What a great shot. I prefer the cropped version as well. Sounds like your brother will have an interesting career and life ahead of him. I hope he is a photographer as well because his hobbies afford many great opportunities.

Wow, what a difference the cropped version makes. Both were good, but the edit is great.

Great capture of the moment!

Nicely done - he does stand out from the rest. And his expression is priceless. The cropped version is the way to go.
