Jim, thank you for your nice and constructive comments.
I know about the rotation; this was a candid 'blind shot'. Since I did not want to get the attention of the people in the picture, I almost incidentally pointed my camera (the Ricoh does not really look like a camera), while I looked the other way. You may understand my horror, when I later realized that the man on the left was not fully enclosed in the picture. He lost even more of his figure when I had to crop the original to reduce some tilt.
All in all I think this captured the spirit 'blue' very nicely. They were sitting outside the police station, I didn't understand what went on inside.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - Almost excellent. You just needed to rotate a little to the left to include the whole man, not half. But you don’t want to lose the door on the right.
(2) BACKGROUND – Well done. I like the simple light colored wall, with the door on the right.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL –Very good focus & DOF. Lighting gives a blue mood to the left side.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL – very good. No changes to recommend.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – I like this better than most did. I like the simplicity, and the “blue mood” coupled with the blue clothes worn by the men. I think if you had captured the whole body on the left, you would have scored much better.

| They are all wearing blue, as if you asked them to stay there so you can take a pic of them. "oh, and by the way, can you all wear blue that day" lol. I like the shot very much. the blue looks great with the surrounding and the focus and clarity are good. lighting is also good for the shot. I wish maybe to have gotten the entire guy on the left in the shot, but this shot looks like a difficult one. good luck in the challenge. |

| A slight pivot to your left would have made it. The person on the left is no doubt more interesting than the wall section on the right. Otherwise good atmospheric image. |

| Nice shot. Good focus and depth. A little dark in the back hall. Would like to be able to see a that person a little better, since they are in the photo. Nice job. PTL 8 |

| Why did you cut out half the man on the left? |

| A documentary shot. So what's story then? What are these gentlemen waiting for? You've included the metal door on the right which suggest that these workmen maybe waiting for it to open, but yet, they are all huddled on the left of the shot. The element you have not included in shot is the theme itself, pretty daring, I might say. Composition wise, the gentleman on the left can be left out completely and the same goes for the metal door; I don't believe these men are waiting for it to open. If it's "waiting" that you want to show, close up on the 2 gentlemen including the man in the doorway, so that the viewer can relate to what you want to show. Overall. 6. |

| Kind of look like day workers, waiting for a job. Anyway..the guy on the left is cut in half. I do see the blue and appreciate your efforts here. Justine |
