Street Noise

A good sort of grainy street scene shot. You have captured street musicians doing their thing. What is also good about this scene is the mood that you have given it. Sort of surreal and moving through process.

What would have been more appealing to voters, is to move over to the middle and shoot from there. This would have given the viewer an open view of the performers. Angle shots of people misses the eyeballs. You want to take in the eyes and facial expressions.

Sometimes in street photography you tend not to want to get in the way of the performers or the people watching. Remember, a photo takes a few seconds to shoot and then you can move away. Another factor about street photograpy, is that you almost have to walk around with your camera ready at any time. It always appears that the best shot always seemed to get away from us, because we were not ready.

Good capture again, I like the mood and the flow. It shows the street elements well. Don't be afraid to step in front and shoot away. The best they can say is no. Good luck in your future challenges.

Ahh ... Spring in the City

It was a good effort to show people in activities as the weather changes into springtime. However, as soon as you open the image the eye is automatically drawn into the horizon. Its the city sky line that is central to this photo. The people seemed secondary.

I can see the idea formulating on how people from the city use the available resources to enjoy and excercise. Again, people in this image are not focus enough. Maybe if this first jogger and bicyclist were closer to camera angle and focal point, it would have been more appealing. I would have cropped the image a little more to the right side, leaving the taller buildings in the background. This would have given focus on the people coming through the shot. That way you could provided more detail and highlights of the types of people and their facial expressions.

Overall a good idea, good lighting. Always think of the purpose of your composition and then recompose it. Good luck in other future challenges.

It looks like a candid photo shot. Not some one who took the time to pose for you. For that end, its well done. Its clear and sharp.

It also looks tightly cropped. So in a way, it looks a bit crowded on the outside border area's. It has a minor appearance of being a little off balance on the left side compared to the right side of the image.

The expression on the man's face seems interesting. It may leave the viewer with distant feeling, or not being able to relate immediately to the image. In fact it looks like a example of a possible newspaper tabloid shot. Where the photographer hurridly snaps a photo of a known celebrity. If this happened, you did a super job capturing the moment.

In review, the tight cropping hurts the image. A little more room on the outside border areas would have made it more generally appealing. The focus and lighting were spot on.

Good luck in your future DPChallenges.

You have met the challenge very well with this composition. It was a very creative and ambitious photo. Although it does not show people faces, it does shows how people are part of the vastly larger social system.
The image also protrays the infrature structure that people must circumvent on a daily basis, especially in larger cities. I see people walking, in taxi, buses, bicycles, subway. The cropping was also a good idea, to focus on the middle portion of the image.

Technically, I would not have done anything differently. Some people do like to see close ups and some fail to see the message in this type of image. Lastly, I am sure that other people will directly relate to this type of photo, because they live it, on a daily basis.

Well done, success in future challenges, and keep up the good work.
