Compensated for underexposure to highlight foreground.

Not suitable for headline news, but I did not want to miss this opportunity.

Looks way too over-exposed to me. You may have got away with it if it were in B&W.

This seems a bit overexposed, especially for a newspaper photo. I like the subject and the environment, just not top notch.

Brightness/Contrast need to be adjusted. Nice subject.

noce moody shot. too many bright overexposed spots tho. very distracting. i would have toned down either with levels or with curves.

ooh too much glare, early morning or late afternoon light is better.

I feel too much of this shot is overexposed, which I suspect some other folks have said.. Maybe if you moved to your right a bit, and got more of the wall to the left in the shot, to cool it down a little..

This was a great idea. Unfortunatly destroyed by terrible lighting and therefore exposure.

The main subject (shoeshiner) is in shadow and everything else is burned out.
Phtography is not taking photos of cute or ugly subjects but capturing the light applied to them !What were you thinking? (just kidding ,of course ) 5

Too overexposed

The lighting is just too bright need a cloudy day or different time of the day.

seems like very bright harsh lighting. maybe shooting this at a different time of day would be better.

Nice idea, but overexposed. I wonder how it would have come out if you used a flash to illuminate your subject, thus allowing a shorter shutter speed so the background didn't get washed out.

This is over exposed. Should have darkened it up with levels.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2004 05:22:51 PM
more than half of the picture is over exposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice composition, but very mutch over exposed, you can run it trough Photoshop and do some Shadows Highlights to get it better, would do your picture a lot!

Picture is overexposed. Also should've focused more on the subject at hand.

What kind of headline is that? Think about real headlines, topical, specific and active. Image seems overexposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

interesting way to use the overexposed background to put focus on the correctly exposed subject, good technique! However, I think I could do with out the top third of the image, the overexposure on the roof is just too much for me. 7

overexposed

Interesting subject, but it looks like you focused on a dark part of the image causing the shot to be overexposed. Next time, go ahead and focus on a brighter spot since it's easier to lighten dark areas than it is to arken light areas.Good luck!

the overexposure is too distracting. maybe a smaller crop on the shiner would make it better.

Photo is overexposed. Headline isn't newsworthy. I think you could've came up with a better headline personally.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2004 03:41:48 AM
too bright
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2004 03:39:58 AM
i like the subject, but it might look better if it was cropped closer to the man. the overexposed market detracts from the image IMO

highlights to blown out and I don't think any newspaper would run this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/23/2004 01:10:29 AM
blown highlight !

This is a very difficult scene to expose, try dropping down a few stops in order to avoid the washed out whites. 3

a bit too overexposed

Good shot but it's a bit overexposed. Next time, try a fill flash to expose both the subject and background correctly.
