I like receiving this message much better than the other one.

Logistically, too challenging to put my beloved through the drudgery of trying to get the technical issues the way I wanted them ... so this was a "one & done".
But, it may still have some quality of message delivery.

Thoughts

The message is clear, but it seems strange to have no eyes in the image. The eyes are like the doorway into the soul.

Lips and cheeks. A bit of beard to identify the receiver as male and mature. Maybe the mystery is good.

I get the message clearly. Not sure I love the comp though. I see it more as an abstract. But I tend to go to the extremes with things, and need to learn to find balance. So take this suggestion FWIW.

I'm a fan of this as shot - love how you can read subtleties of the face to really see how well-received the affection is (corner of the mouth, full cheek, angle of the eye).

Would have preferred if there wasn't the shadow on the kisser's face, but I love you going outside the box on this one.

Cheers!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff,

Good read on the subtleties ... I tried to make sure I put them there.

Yeah, lighting was an issue. My wife has been telling me for years that she wants better lighting in the kitchen.

Watch out - you might unknowingly get yourself roped into a home improvement project.

No worries ... I already did the biggest part of what she wanted changed last year.

Interesting close-up of a "peck". The Panasonic seems pretty capable.

...

<Homer Simpson-esquely> MMMMM, color adjustable LED lighting for the kitchen ....

Hey, we all have dreams!

They make 'em ... even adjustable from your i-Phone. A colleague I met on a project had them in his kitchen / dining room.

The Panny isn't perfect, but "surprisingly" capable is becoming less and less of a surprise as I get to know it a bit better. At the moment, I'm beginning to find out that I seem to be the "weak link" as it will tell on my poor technique, when I let it.

It's not going to replace my FF gear (only goes to 25mm equiv wide), but it sure is easier to keep handy ...and likely a whole lot easier to keep the sensor clean, too.

To me the wife's kiss on the cheek doesn't translate as I would expect. The lips and nose form an unusual upward angle and not flattering. I appreciate you're thought process and trying something new but the image doesn't work for me. I would try different angles I you will need a model willing to smother you with affection

Thanks Barbara,

You pretty much are seeing the same things that I saw when I chimped it ... and decided to nix the various attempts it would likely take to "get it right", or at least more to the way I envisioned. Some things are more important that a pic, so I abandoned the effort in favor of letting my beloved escape the tedium of working with me on it.

I also think seeing a reaction ( emotion ) would strengthen the image.
