Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Waiting (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Haarlem, Netherlands
Date: Jun 4, 2004
Aperture: F6.3
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Urban, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Jun 4, 2004

 I took this shot at a bus stop where I live. I liked the way how the architecture of the bus stop made the waiting man so small.
I was testing my new D70 with the Sigma 28-300 lens that everyone loves to hate.

Love the color and lines in this candid! I think your title does nothing to honor your subject, though. He could be so tired he's napping, he could be so sad he's quietly crying.... One of my top pics. Good luck!

Seems a bit washed out, but the red adds some good contrast.

Don't know about anyone else, but as "cheery" as they try to make these places, bored is bored.

The notion of waiting is clearly conveyed in the subject and environment. The foreground is verify distracting--a shot down the platform, parallel to the tracks would have been better.

There isn't enough contrast between the subject and background - he seems to get lost in the image.

the whites are so bright that they sort of drown out the waiting guy.. but not too much you can do about that :(
