His work was excellent, and I always liked looking for his wife's initial hidden in his paintings!!

Some art "experts" see his use of light as a "gimmicky" sales tool to collect $$$ from the unwashed masses. Not me, however. I used to live near Philadelphia and there was a Kincaid gallery fairly close. I'd go in there and be simply mesmerized for an hour or more. I never knew about his wife's hidden initial.
I downloaded your photo and looked at it closely. The depth of field is great and the wrinkles in the very dark pants on the front girl are clearly visible and the backpack colors and details are spectacular. I'm wondering if you have just made a great case for the Exposure To The Right (ETTR) technique as you did not lose any dark areas and didn't even come close to blowing out any highlights?? I'm very new to this as I just got my first DSLR (Nikon D7100). I'm still trying to figure out all this stuff. I did a fair amount of SLR film photography in my life, but for the last 15 years or so, I've been using digital point and shoots (Leica D-LUX 3 & Canon SX10). I've done quite a bit of basic Photoshop work, but now I'm shooting RAW+JPEG fine and I'm getting ready to make my decision on which RAW processor to use - probably LR Classic or CC. Someone on this forum posted a great decision tree chart as to which LR would be best. I just haven't had time to "just do it".
Your great photo is giving me inspiration and motivation. Thank you for sharing it!

Well even if it was gimmicky, if people like it, isn't that the whole idea of our doing any type of art? We first want to please ourselves, but certainly want others to be pleased also!
Yes Kincaid was a master whose life ended too tragically, and too soon!!

Very interesting picture Bob and I think having the two girls there just starting to walk down certainly add to it....
