My apologies for the lateness of my comment...
I think this is a very good photojournalistic photo. The mood and feel of the scene documented works well. I'm not sure I'd change anything about it. |

I like this image a lot actually. I like the smoker's pose and how the guy in the back with the baseball cap seems to be looking at her. Your processing is great also. A couple things i'll comment on just because i can are that I would have cropped a little closer on the left leaving the black thing at the top left of the frame out and also the stones on the wall right behind your subject seem a little too sharp or too bright, not sure what, they seem to take attention away from your subject. Then again, those are really minor things that probably don't matter, I just wanted to leave something you could think about instead of just saying i liked the picture. Hope this helped |

Hi Ian, here's a critique for you...
The wide aperture does a reasonable job of seperating the foreground from the background, but to help this further, you could lighten the lady and darken the background a little. The high-contrast isn't really working in the foreground, and she looks like a newspaper printed cutout stuck onto the street.
It looks like the background is artificially blurred by editing. This shot would have been better taken at f/2.8 to get some genuine DOF blur, although you probably wouldn't get as much seperation as this unless you have a 5D with an 85 f/1.2 lens. :) Anyway, I like the feel you were going for. |

Perfect example of photo journalism work. Nice tones and a perfect choice to go b/w. |

Great composition. Love the B&W. Not sure about her face. Is it over PP'd? It looks a bit like a mask as if it's been too post-processed. |
