I'm perusing and critiquing archive DPC street photography challenges to learn more about composition. Please email me responses to my comment if you like.
Although not fond of square format I love the capture and the composition. Beyond my skill level to have everything blurred except the subject's face. |

Good image but could be better.
I think that you shot this maybe two steps (his) too late or you should have been standing a little bit more to the right so the shot would be straight on the side of the man and the building with the window as a background.
I like the outcome though. |

Larus,
This is an excellent photograph. I've come to appreciate departures from the typical DP-style, and this is probably one of the best examples of which I've seen on this site. |

Exceptional photo... i scored it a 10 and expected it to be top three at least.
Anyways, I was hoping for some insight on the blur. It seems to give a "rotational" feeling, not just left to right, bringing the face into attention. I first thought is was PS, but reading your comments I understand it's not. If it's camera motion, how can you have the face in such perfect focus? Thanks... |

| Just wanted to poll a vote for more finding and less making. Of course that's just my personal taste but seeing that this was yours really impressed me because of the fact that it is not what I expected to see from you. |

| Who'd have thought this was yours? Excellent, Larus! You ought to just "find" things more often. No, wait. You do well enough "making" things - we don't need you "finding" them, too! Seriously, though - great shot, great find. |

Brilliant shot, a term i think i over use but here it's certainly apt.
You've managed to keep him sharp whilst panning the street, it's worked so well.
The strong contrast and deep blacks give it character, while the motion gives it spontenuity and a candid feel to which street photography is all about.

| I like the motion blur in the background, but think the subject's feet should be in focus with the rest of the body. |

very nice. impressive to get that much movement, but retain his upper body in focus.
coming back to bump this to a 10, bcause I can't imagine how to have made it better. - 10 |

| Very nice motion pan and terrific tonal range. I also like the strength of your composition in the capture. About the only thing that I'd like to see changed would be the angle you took the shot. I think if you were just a few inches higher (or taller), keeping the off of that horizontal line would have made this one even better. |

Makes me think about the photograph and makes me think about what he's thinking. I don't think there would be a better way to capture this.
I do think it doesn't need the sort of sharpening, but let's not get technical here.
It's a brilliant image. |

| This is the best one I've seen yet. It has all of the elements to really make you "feel" the street: movement, a human subject and that bicycle really sends it over the top for me. BRAVO 10 |
