Not only a pretty good score -- its a darn good PHOTO! Way to rub it in how effortless these types of street works of art are for you! I hope you can come with us one day next week! :)
Hey Steve, this shot is gonna make want to visit this place, love the inclusion of the menu sign and the depth of field. Very tough shot to take im sure since it was dark, congrats.
Meets Challenge: 3 of 3. I could stand a little less "full coverage" light, and more spot lighting, but I know this isn't a studio, so it's fine.
Technical: 2 of 3. I'd suggest a tighter crop, maybe? That phone booth isn't really doing anything for the shot, so maybe just bumping the left edge in until it's gone? Otherwise, pretty good.
Emotion: 3 of 3. A dark street corner, a guy with a cigarette leaning against the corner of a building looking for someone... does it get any more dramatic than that? Very nice.
Awe: 0 of 1.
This would have been perfect with the left side cropped in half way between the subject and the phonebooth. Basically leaving the subject in the left 1/3 of the photo.
