Watching the Ships Go By

The composition of this is pleasingly balanced, but somehow the picture doesn't really connect with me. I wonder I might be better a little less tightly framed?

It looks as though the light was very harsh here, and I do find myself squinting when viewing the bright whites of the shirts! I think a more interesting photograph, in terms of 'street photography' might have been taken by standing forward and to the left of your original position, so that you could capture at least one of the performers, but also the expressions of the spectators - this would weave more of a narrative in to the composition.

Certainly out of the box thinking, but to carry the photo off it needs to be technically sound. The exposure here is quite badly of, with the reflected sunlight blowing the highlights. An interesting perspective though, and I hope you didn't risk getting runover when lying down in the middle of the road!

A much wider perspective, taking more of the scene would help this in terms of the challenge. As it is, the photo doesn't say to me 'street' or similar environment - it could have been taken in a cloakroom for all I know! That said, it is a pleasing portrait of the little girl and you have captured her eyes and smile very nicely.

Such a shame we can't see the expressions on their faces.

There is seriously a shop called 'Forplay'?!
I am afraid that there isn't enough definition in this photograph for it to work for me. The subject is surely the man standing in the left corner, and yet this is the area where focus is softest. The photo also has a washed out feel - a little judicious burning would help give a little more contrast. On a positive note, the inclusion of the police car helps provide a sense of story to the photo.

Here in York we have had the grand total of half an inch of snow this winter. Not fair ;¬P

Dream ride

Comment:
I feel that this would have benefitted from a shallower depth of field (hard at night, I know - and I am not sure whether I could have done it) in order to let the horse and carriage stand out, as the background is very busy. On first pass I failed to notice the resting driver who, at the end of the day, is the 'subject'! I would like to see the photo more titly framed, perhaps cropped so that just half the carriage and half the horse are included.

What are you looking at?!

The composition here is alittle tight for my taste, and the photo has a rather washed out appearance. There is something about the texture (or perhaps lack of) of the dog's coat and the boy's hand that bothers me.

Not keen on the partial desaturation, although it does appear well done.
