There's a lot of different things in this that should make for a good photo. The smoke/fog/mist. Hard to tell what it is without a caption. The colors are complimentary. The hat and the shoulder repeat the same shape. The strong light on his profile. All of them are things that could make a strong photo.
But then, after looking at all that, is it a compelling picture? No. But there is no reason for it to be compelling with this exercise. You got out, held your camera up and took some pictures of strangers. Well done. |

This one is better compositionally, and the subject's hat is interesting in and of itself. However, that is the only thing that is drawing you into the picture. There is no interaction, there is no story, there is no emotion that makes you want to dwell on the photo and keep coming back to it. In other words, once you've seen the hat, you've seen the picture. |
