This for me is primarily a candid, and the blur (as has been said) works in that respect to add to that feeling; it is a shot, though, that I think would not be substantially different had the focus been sharp.
It's what one would see as the bus drives past - a passenger waiting. He's standing still but you're not. Just a moment, then gone. I like it.
Exactly! :)
The only difference in my mind is that as I peer down from the bus window, my mind wonders what he is reading that has so piqued his interest. Fiction, non-fiction, is it something that has will hold my mind for longer than 5 minutes... etc.
Yes, I honestly have these conversations in my head about stuff like that. :D
a casual candid, modified w/beautiful handmade soft colour tone, neither detail nor important environ elements are neglected in this superb & tight composition.
If you think the sweater is dorky, how about the hat? I have him pegged as Austrian :-) The image doesn't do a lot for me, however... It has a certain charm, but I wouldn't come back to look at it over and over again...
This is a nice candid, I always wonder how people can read a book just standing around, the bit of blur indicates the shot was taken in haste and adds to the candidness.
