Thanks, all. Yep, I agree, this shot should have been centered. :-) Unfortunately, this shot wasn't high res enough and ended up being exactly 640x480...no room for cropping. I still liked the shot and the contrast between the energy in the background and the 'resters' in the foreground to submit it. You were *supposed* to wonder what everyone was looking at (buskers) that these too decided to just sit out on.
I like your subject, and I love the angle you've chosen to show off the two people. My two complaints are: a) the image is a little light, almost washed-out and b) the image isn't centered, and I think that's pretty crucial to pulling off this effect.
Decent shot with all the mixed lighting, but what is everybody looking at? I seem to be far more interested in that, whatever it is. Photo 7 City 5 total 6
A lot of city hustle and bustle in this photo :) It's a good photo but here's *my* beef with it: it seems that EVERYONE's attention in this photo is focused away from you. I get the impression that there is somethign going on in this photo that I can't see :) I have never been a real fan of photogrpahing people from behind unelss there is a specific reason for it. :) = 6 - jmsetzler
I think it might have been effective if just the bench and people were showing. The good thing about having a lot of people, though, is you can study each one and wonder what each was thinking.
