58 May 20 Comment Daniel this is a nicely balanced image - the two figures on each side balance the man in the middle. The strong horizontals - steps, shadows, pavement, waves and horizon supported by the verticals (people) in the scene. Except for one which is not like the others, all the people are hooded and faceless. Nice separation of the figures, no mergers of the bodies. Good capture! May 16th
58 May 20 Comment Jim, nice capture. The colors of the braids harmonizes with the bottom half of the scene. I like how the eye shifts back and forth from the mural to the real person. The others in the group mentioned the sharp contrast of what is above the horizon line and the rest of the image. One way to overcome this is perhaps to consider a B&W conversion so all the tones of the image are monochromatic. Wynnward walls is a great place for street photography. May 16th
58 May 20 Comment Bruce I like the subdued colors of this image with the man's head framed by the folds of the fabric. His hand is interesting holding the cigarette and the triangular shape is repeated by the shape of his nose. I think the milk cans add to the street environment and the story. The cans also adds depth to the image and takes us the rear of the scene. Background is nicely out of focus. Details of your post processing work are interesting and makes this image work!
TIP I got from a sports photographer. Try Aperture priority instead of Speed Priority. I know it's counter-intuitive - take the same scene (1) using SPEED as your base, lets say 1/250. Note the aperture the camera sets-lets say f/7. (2) Reverse this procedure and use APERTURE as your base -say f/7 from (1). Invariably the resulting speed should be more than 1/250. See if this works for you.		 May 16th
58 May 20 Comment Randy thanks for including the other images of this structure. I looked up the word "Vessel" which means a hollow container; or a large boat / ship. I imagine standing anywhere on this structure would give an unobstructed 360 degree view of both sides and a different perspective from that of street level. As you mentioned "an engineering marvel" but even more so the mind of the architect that creates outside the box. May 16th
58 May 20 Comment Hassan, this is a nice B&W conversion of a street scene, with a wide range of tonal values. This image has a lots of framing - the vendor framed in the doorway; the child framed by the alley; and the whole image framed by the overhanging branches. These little frames makes the viewer explore the frames individually and together as a whole. As you mentioned - the scene is timeless. Well done! May 16th
58 May 20 Comment Isaac, the smile makes all the difference and of course the cigar is the bonus point. You captured all the tones of her dark skin as well as the whites in her dress beautifully. The touches of red that punctuate throughout leads the eye around the subject. The limited color palette and clean background makes this all the more interesting. Isaac, you chose a squarish crop which places the subject dead center; perhaps cropping a bit off the right side would move her off-center to make a typical 5x7 portrait ratio would be a suggestion. Great image! May 16th
