(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) â Everything is very centered â the hitchhiker and the horizon. Your title implies a car has stopped, but the photo does not. Not clear if he is walking or hitchhiking (despite the sign). Iâd have liked to see him at far right, with a car stopped in the distance at far left (to fit your title). This would also show more road surface, giving a perspective of depth and distance.
(2) BACKGROUND â good. See comments on composition. Horizon should probably not be so centered, even if you changed composition as suggested.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL â focus & DOF look good.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL â no recommendations. Personally, I donât worry about the jpeg artifacts as one comment did.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO â A good idea,meets challenge, but an average âsnapshotâ â based entirely on the composition.

A fairly dull shot. The subject is dead centre in the frame which doesn't work for me, and the background doesn't add much to the shot.
I would have cropped a lot tighter into the hitch-hiker, probably in portrait format, keeping him to the right of the frame. |

Try not to center your subjects in the frame. Include more of the road or make a tighter crop with less air.
Save it at a higher quality level, the jpeg artifacts ruin this image. :-( |

| Really great idea! But unfortunately the bearing of your model looks (IMHO!) not very nice. When a person is walking try to shoot exactly in the moment, when both legs are on the earth. Otherwise they look mostly like a stork ;-). The use of the rule of thirds probably would have been helpful too. |
