Neil, Echoing Margaret I think this is a very nice portrait with a lot to like about it. I very interesting face with an expression that makes me wonder whats going on ( always the retired psychologist) Nicely framed or cropped. I really like the shallow DoF it keeps my attention right on the essential features of the face.
Nice;y captured

Margaret, I like the image. It gives me a sense of place. I keep going back and forth about whether it should be centered or not. Seems to me you would/could end up with two very different images. One that documents and one that would fall into architectural photography. The lamp post is less distracting to me then the white greenish, blue parka in the lower left corner. |

Hildi, I like everything about this image. The crop the bokeh, the sharpness and the mood. Kinda creepy but in a good way.
Thank you |

Sean, what a cool image ( or should I say warm image after looking at the original) I'm not sure I would have given the original a second look but your processing changes that. You've taken a unremarkable photo and turned it in something worth spending some time on.
Thanks

Bev, First off I really like the format or crop.It serves the image perfectly. I also like the other processing steps you made they too help to bring out the feel of the image.
Well done.

Myo, Sorry I am so late in commenting on your image. I haven't checked in since the beginning of the month.
I too, like the image and I like the color. A bit curious about the color.predominant reds and blues. Was that the scene or was that your processing? Ether way I like it.
The perspective is a bit unusual but I think that what attracts and holds my interest

Hattie, There is a great deal to like here. Its suggests a great story A story that can be different ever time you look at it. Its full of emotions and it lets the viewer ask questions.
I also like how you processed it. Well seen and well executed

Bill, Since it was your image that sparked this discussion I'm commenting here but anyone can feel free to comment.
For me it doesnt matter anything in your image is "sharp" or not. The image works its visually pleasing and it hold my attention.
One of my favorite street photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson did seem to worry a great deal about sharpness. When I look at his and other great photographers works I see many images that are not sharp. But those images work

Colin, My 2 cents. It seems we all view this a bit differently and I'm pleased that we are having this discussion.
I feel the same about adding or removing something from an image but I will using lightening/darkening/contrast and vignette as a way to redirect the viewers attention.
I do crop some of my images. I equate cropping with framing in the camera. I make decisions about what I want to put in and exclude when I'm framing an image. Sometimes something on the street prevents me from framing as I would like so I
make the adjustment via the crop in Lightroom |

Hattie, Thanks for the suggestions. I considered a similar crop but in the end abandoned the idea.
The aspect of your response that I most appreciated is
"I have been trying to figure out where is the end of that rope. Lol" In another words that rope has kept you engaged with the image.
When I first took this image I saw all the "problems" and choose not to process it. Lately I've been trying to capture images that have a sense of ambiguity or wonder, something that keeps the viewer engaged. So when I cleaning out my Lr catalogue I saw this image in that light.
Thanks for taking the time.

Colon, I echo Barbara (and not just because she has a great name)I too really like the story. Plus there is a sense of wonder as I look to make sense of it. The composition is great. She is moving, perhaps dancing through the scene and the chop sticks are pointing the way.
I also like the processing The colors seem to pop adding to a sense of music in the air
Question: It appears your holding the camera just a bit off the ground. Is that in fact the case?
Thanks

Bill, It sure works for me!. I "try" to take these all the time and predicting how the camera is going to record the sandwich of layers that our eye and brain find so easy to keep separate is for me always a bit of a surprise.Its an image that I don't move away from quickly and while I can't say I look for a story, I do enjoy looking for and at each layer as well as taking in the whole.
Well executed.
Question: Auto focus or manual? if manual how did you choose where to focus?
