Excellent shot. The dof works so well..having the girl out of focus. It looks rainy and dreary...which works with her walking away from the scene. 10. LOVE IT.

Come back soon.

I donĂ¢€™t have much knowledge on street photography but my thoughts on you shot are as follows: I love the simplicity of this shot. The bench and the pillars behind draw me into the shot and then the lady walking along. Just lovely. 10

wonderful story here. I instantly thought, man if benches like this could talk about the stuff they've heard or seen...what stories they could tell.

I gave this a 5 in voting. If it had been in color it would have been much higher. Knowing that it was a vegetable, yet having that grayish, blackish coloring made it very unappetising.

I love this scene. It really does give the impression that she up-and-left from the seat....but it looks a bit wet to be sat one in my opinion! Lovely DOF and contrast. 8

Lovely image, very much reminiscent of Cartier-Bresson and his contemporaries. Really like your composition, the viewpoint from which you've chosen to shoot, the depth of field that softens the details of the grand pillared building behind just enough but not too much and, of course, the lone female carrying her shopping home. The fact that she's wearing black is actually crucial to the success of the image as her almost silhouetted form really needs that solidity to balance the strong blacks of the bench. High contrast is just right too. Oh and the wet pavement glistening as well. All good!
