You may be on to something but you didn't have to go into PS to distort the photo. I cropped to 3:4 format and straightened the verticals even more. I still think it's artificial and the path doesn't lead my eyes through the photo, but maybe it looks better to an independent viewer. I still like my original better. Thanks for your comments. |

In my photo the verticals (trees) are straight, which is what they should be. By straightening the horizon line as you see it, which naturally slopes, everything looks crooked.
I think your crop destroys my storyline, which is much broader than just the two people on the bench. But thanks for your comment. |

This is a nice snapshot for your travel book. For me there is no story to it and it's not interesting. |

I think the dog was hungry and you looked like a good snack <LOL>. No, really, cute pooch. The B&W rendering works better for me than the color version and I think you did a good job with the tones.
When I first look at your crop, my eye is first drawn to the bright area on the top left. With Bev's crop, my eye is first drawn to the dog because it's the proportionally the biggest thing in the frame and up front. I like that better from a compositional point of view.
I think the dark shadow across the woman's face is a little distracting. Maybe if you dodged it down just a little show it's not as dark, it may improve the composition.

I think this is a great "decisive moment" shot with the hawker's outstretched arm holding a fist full of dollars. The green and red complimentary colors create magnet for my eyes. Focus and exposure look great to me.
Outstanding story and execution!! |

I really like the story you're trying to tell here and I like seeing the environment in the background.
I'm conflicted about the fact that the 2nd person is almost totally obscured by the first. On one hand I see her there and I see that she's holding a pencil or brush and is creating art. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm seeing enough of her to fully include her in the story. |

Welcome Mo!! The character portrait really holds my attention. That you got busted on this and he's looking at you adds to excitement in my opinion. Colors are good. Focus and DOF are good.
Personally, I prefer to see more of the environment in street shots but that's my preference. |

The juxtaposition of the characters and the clash of colors are intriguing to me. Love the story! |

Yep, that's the point of the crop. Your eye follows the walkway to the end of the road. |
