Ask Jim

ASK JIM Every month, Jim will answer a question from his online students, from people who participate in his tours and workshops, or from subscribers to this magazine. If you have a question you’d like Jim to answer, please drop him a note at photos@jimzuckerman.com. Q: Jim . . .This is a minor point, but I really don’t know what you’ll say. I took this shot of bridesmaids at the Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At the bottom left of the picture, there is a recessed light that I find a bit annoying. Should I clone it out? Ari Shapiro, Brooklyn, New York A: I would say yes, you should. It draws the eye into that corner, and our attention should not be diverted from the young women. The light certainly doesn’t ruin an otherwise attractive picture, but still -- I’d remove it.
