This is the uncropped version.
Would like to hear your opinions on how to handle a shot like this - angle, crop, contrast etc.

Thrash me

Hmmm...I think the faces on the people need a little lighting. The woman in the foreground's hair blends in with the cabinets which I find distracting. If it was me, I would have stood between the table and the trash can to get more of a feeling between the two women. It seems like there is a story there, but it's competing with all the objects in the room.

-I see the need for lighting on their faces.
-Wanted to include the widow in the frame too.
-re. the 'hair blending' situation, it looks fine on my monitor!

Thanks for the input Alison.
