DPC Takes a Field Tripby

*Composition (content)*
Pleasant composition, except for the bottom where the knee and foot from the middle person are cut off. The railing, the twist in the railing, the wall behind with the shadows the position of the subjects and the people below provide a good depth.
The tinted glass provides a nice color break between the background wall and foreground floor. The red shirt of the lady provides some color and makes the scene less dull.
The positions of the subjects provide a variancy that makes it worth to look at all three of them.
Not much reflection from the glass, which is good.
*Background*
Background is neutral and pleasant to the eye. It doesn't distract from the main subject.
It also provides information about the location, it looks big without being a shopping mall and the kind of material used makes it look important, like a museum, government building or expensive business location. Blurring it by using a wide aperture would have ruined that information. Very good.
*Camera Work (Technical)*
Good focus, good sharpness.
Colors look natural, so good white balance.
It is a difficult situation for exposure with the bright white in the background and I have the feeling that this was the maximum achievable. A bit overexposed behind the lady, a bit underexposed in the foreground shadows. Good balance between that, for better results you might need better gear.
*Digital Processing (technical)*
The only thing worth mentioning: save as close as possible to the 150kb limit. A higher quality setting gives better edge sharpness and better color in large patches.
*My opinion*
Funny, but not really special. It looks like there is something going on that they all wan't to capture, but the surroundings don't provide exact information about that. It does show photojournalism at work, but I miss the large flashes etc. :-)
