Greetings from the critique club,

let me first say this, once a picture hits the 6 domain, it means it'a great shot.

this is a great outtake on the challenge, the fact that there is no streets, YET it's a street photography shot due to the fact that this is what they use in vietnam gave you an edge over the rest of the shots in the challenge.

technically speaking the picture is very well composed, good focus with vibrant colours, so there is nothing i can tell you about this except great job.

as for the shot itself, i think you could have pushed your score by at least 0.5 if:
1) the shot was in BW, (for me i think it does not matter) but from what i've noticed for DPC masses street photog=BW, just check the top 3:)

2) the story you are conveying, some shots in this challenge are good and don't have a story (which is what street photog, is all about). yours does, it conveys the living style of some of the vietnamese communities, but it does not leave a mark on the viewer. for example if you look at the winner, it really gets to you the contrast of lifestyle shown in it, and it makes you wonder. looking at your shot,as a DPC voter, yes i see the message , cool lifestyle, votes 6 and move on.

i hope this critique was helpfull,
you have a good portfolio, looking forward to seing more of your work,

cheers,
Hassan

OK, I stared for probably 15 secs before I got your title. I guess I'm tired. In any case, this has a very candid/documetary feel to it. Even though she is aware of your presence, she is wary and curious of your intentions.

No streets = no good vote
