Hi LuAnn,
Sorry for my belated comments as I was travelling without my computer. Reading on an iPhone is a rather daunting task for me!
Coming back to your picture. Street photography and/or photojournalism is tricky in the sense that you have little control on the subjects and objects while avoiding unrelated objects into the frame. Things just happen in that split second and you have to decide whether to press the shutter or not. This one, you have made a successful attempt in capturing the mood of the diners and the interaction between the chef and the diners. I also love the leading lines that add to the depth of the picture.
On the other hand, my understanding of photography is "less is more". I appreciate Hattie's attempt to reduce the elements of the photo so that we can focus on the interaction of the diners and the chef.
I also noticed that your intention was to show the Dining Car itself. A possible thought could be that you capture the whole Car from outside (which should be relatively dark) while showing the diners and chef inside with lights on. That could draw people's attention to what is happening inside the Car while understanding that it was the Car which the chef was doing business in.
Again, there is no right or wrong. But this is what I would attempt to do if I would like to tell a story about Mickey's Dining Car. |

Hi Pandula,
I love your image at first sight. And so please let me make my first ever comment on any image with this PSA Study Group.
I like the suspense your mist creates. This goes very well with the story you are telling. A train coming out of a tunnel attempts to turn left while there is a man walking long the track at a distance. This scene in itself creates tension in the viewer's mind. Plus C-shaped track on a bridge(?) which accentuates the tension you have created. This is a very good attempt.
Compositionally, I'd like to agree with Oliver that the left hand side of the image seems to be unrelated to the story you are telling. The left hand side would be necessary as negative space if the track were not turning left. But in this case, the left hand could be cropped out just to make the frame tighter and to draw people's eyes to the (jay)walking man and the incoming train. |

Thanks for your kind words and more importantly your in-depth analysis of my image. This one is just by luck and no more. |
