Face Of Fear
by EssAreDubya

Hello from the Critique Club!

This is an interesting image. I like the black and white treatment - you have achieved a comfortable range of tonality in the image.

There is some competition between the focal point of the image and the subject matter that you have chosen. I think that you intend the asian man on the left hand side to be the subject. However, your focus is on the person wearing the hooded coat with their back to you. The eye is drawn from the person in focus to the police in the background. Your subject matter doesn't really stand out.

I think that you need to choose more carefully where to place the focus when taking the picture. This is key in busy scenes, if you wish to isolate one person as the subject (a traditional tactic of street photography).

The subject matter has some interest, but without something more, fails to excite. Something more might be a very strong expression, interesting face, or interaction with the environment. The mild expression of fear doesn't feel strong enough to carry this image far past the apparent technical shortcoming to make it really work.

Good luck with your next challenge!

Matthew

This is superb. I hope that you complied with the editing rules - I am assuming so in my voting.

The Spectators at ISO 3200
by jaysonmc

Comment:
The fact that it is shot at iso 3200 makes very little impact on the image: it lacks sharpness, detail, and is noisy. I like the colour treatment though.

Caterham super 7? V nice - I used to want one of those.

Nice image - good feeling of speed. I would like to see both hands on the wheel (compositionally, rather than for safety!) and a fraction more vibrancy in the colours of the trees - they fail to compete with the yellow of the bonnet.

A slightly straighter road, and/or slower speed with longer shutter, might have captured the blurred parts of the image slightly cleaner, without the ghosting.

Overall - one of my favourites for this difficult challenge.
