Than you Alex. When I first met with the couple, over a afternoon meal at a Korean restaurant, the idea was to do a portrait of the two of them. Knowing the importance of family ties with in the Korean community, I suggested that family is what we will strive for. It was a bit complicate being that the daughter was in the US but we did manage.
Much thought went into the composition, especially arrangement of value. As you have noticed I used a diagonal value division. I thought to use a drapery behind them for another concept of value. Still I liked this one better and went with it. I'm happy to hear that it works. Another compositional problem is to give the eye interest. Combining this with family unity I attempted to create circular motion if you will. So, what we have is a diagonal and circle within a rectangular frame.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me. This helps me to understand what others see and notice.
All the best to you
