Entry

Really thought this would score over 6, happy it ended above my average score, but...

Outtakes
Wonder if these would have done better...

I almost entered this (had a couple of people who wanted me to enter it as well)


But I went with this entry because it had muchless editing and because of the more photojournalism feel to it. Wish I had entered the other.

Well i looked through your portfolio and Honestly i don't see what makes you a street photography expert. Why don't you open your mind a bit. considering the photogs that said they gave it a ten, you might want to rethink what you think about Street photography. Then again I can't tell you what to like but in my opinion you are very wrong about this shot.

Street Photography is basically taking a photograph of someone who has no knowledge that the shot is being taken, an UNSTAGED moment in time usually involving people or at least a single person.

What makes this shot so appealing to a lot of people is the curves and lines, the balance and tonal quality of the shot with its excellent shades and B&W conversion.

I hope this brief personal explanation has helped you to understand a bit more about 'Street Photography'.

Ease up Elvis_L, I asked for an explanation. At what point did I say I was an expert. I asked for an explanation which was given by MAK and aguapreta elegantly. Thankyou to MAK and aguapreta for the explanation. It makes a lot more sense now.

Elvis_L if you looked at my portfolio you should've known I was know expert and was asking a for a explanation.

According to the challenge desription:

"Street photography is a type of documentary photography that usually features people in candid situations in public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions, and other settings. Go out and take your best photo using street photography techniques."

This picture meets the criteria.

It has been brought to my attention that the word 'bum' has different connotations in America to England. Just to clarify, in Britain, a bum is a very commonly used colloquism for a bottom...

I struggled to choose which one to enter - opinions on the other two would be gratefully received.

Wanted to post these already, but time got away from me. I love doing street photography (though I haven't yet done enough to really hit my stride), and I really enjoyed shooting for this challenge.

Here are three editing outtakes from the shot I entered (some people suggested it might be better without the selective desat; I still can't decide, so I'll let you all make your own decisions). There were three other shots I considered, as well, and they're here, too:

Entered shot: I don't see you



Outtakes:




Any thoughts on my final choice, strengths in the others, etc., appreciated.

One final note: I got a couple of comments saying the title contradicted the image, where the girl clearly had seen the man. Well, having been there, she looked at him, but she never really saw him. Not as a person, not as more than something that was either annoying to her or in some way vaguely threatened her. I clearly didn't carry this part of my message off for quite a few people; any suggestions on how to make a message like this clearer through my images would be much appreciated.

Best,

Rob

Rob, don't take it personally :-), as mentioned in comments on some others photos in this particular challenge where the number of extraordinary photos was extremely high the voters don't know anything ... so the comments like this about title contradicting the photo are not to take seriously at all ... you know, i know ... many many others know the relatedness between the title and photo.

even i like to title the photos with some "contra sense" title because i see fit to do so and to "move" the voter/commenter to think a little more about the photo just like you wanted to do (i think) ... so ... no worries :-)

PS: oh yes i'm so exited i forgot to comment the photos :-) , the submitted photo is great but i also like the color version very very much

hey dude,
in the shot, the girl is turning toward the guy with motion blur (atleast, that's what it looks like to me). i think it would have been more effective if she was turning away from the guy with motion blur as if she's brushing off his presence. obviously not something you can control to quite that level since its candid photography.

oh also, i like the color version better.
