Fantastic bird's eyeview shot of an iconic landmark. Spend a few days there last year on our way to Tazmania. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do night photography. |

Maybe because of the hot weather. Such scenes used to be fairly common here in the Philippines until some city mayors started imposing fines for being shirtless outside their residences. |

I was looking at the photo two days in a row but I still cant find any fault. Great composition. The winding pathway and the fence in the backgound create leading lines directing the viewer to the subject. Nice exposure. Although the girl was wearing a bright shirt, her face was perfectly exposed revealing her nice smile. I have one question though. Did you ask permission from the subject before or after the shot? I love to take candid shots in the street when I travel. In my experience, asking permission first would normally result in a "posed" shot which I would like to avoid. I normally use a wide angle lens to cover more areas but would have to get really close to the subject. Most countries in Asia and even in Japan, the people generally dont mind if you take photos of them in the street.I would love to hear from other members of the group regarding privacy issues from your country... |

I love the way you converted this picture in monochrome. Great composition, exposure and tonal range. By putting the darks (the man's jacket is dark enough and still show some details) and the whites (on the man's hand with the coffee cup) on the main subject provides excellent contrast and greatly enhanced the photo. By the way, did you ask permission before or after taking the photo? |

Inspite of its simplicity, the photo tells a great story...a government building, an empty street, a barricaded main entrance....scenes we see only in the news in our part of the globe. Great compostion and I like the adjustments made by Chuck increasing the tonal range on the midtones. |

It looks great Chuck. A noticed in your adjusted photo that there seemed to be a little more grain (which is not necessarily a bad thing) . I was just curious if you did some sharpening that may have caused the grain? |

Did what you suggested by reducing the luminousity of the bright signs and cropped the edges on the left. Now, I think the image is a lot better. Thanks Lou |

I agree with Lou and Chuck that you did a great job in converting this photo into monochrome. By removing the bright colors of the fruits, you were able to shift the viewers focus to the main subjects. The photo has also great tonal range making it very crisp. The fruits not only create interesting foreground but an excellent frame for the main subjects. Lastly, the fruit stand at the center provides excellent leading lines, shifting the viewer from one subject to another.By the way, I also love to take market scenes during my travels. |

A typical street scene that tells a story. A candid shot of two friends having a serious discussion. I love how you were able to capture the serious expression on his face. Tried to do a little adjustment to darken the background a little bit to put more emphasis on the main subjects using selective luminousity masking with Raya Pro 5 then adjusting the curve level in Photoshop. Great shot Lou... |
