Bvlgari Bvsker
-
for me, you are too far away from the subject for it to make an impact. Needn’t have included the higher Bvlgari in the shot.
Hi Pete – interesting find. I would prefer to lose the distractions around the sides and crop in, like Liam, to exclude the upper sign, simplify it; I don’t see how that upper sign could add to the pic (but someone else might). Also I see 2 versions in my mind’s eye both symmetrical left & right with the windows.
One being cropped from the bottom about half way up the guitar case keeping the feet in shot and from the right to include the head of the guitar.
The other being tighter still, bottom up to approx base of the shop front (clone out the bottle perhaps) and cutting off part of the guitar head on the right, so that the busker (bvsker!) really fills out more of the lower third of the image.
Keeping the same aspect ratio should bound the frame as to what you can do with it.
Hope this helps!
Thanks guys. I agree with you both about the need for a crop. Funny how you sometimes don’t see these things until someone with a fresh eye points them out!
I’d like to keep the guitar case in as it’s part of the reality of busking, but this does mean I’d have to also keep the distracting break in the wall to the right of the frame. Maybe I’ll try a little crop to see… :)
Thinking about it now, if I’d taken the shot from a lower angle it might have been better too, even if this meant the guitar case and the busker would be intersecting each other even more! Goes to show, a little more thought when taking the photo might have improved this shot. And this subject wasn’t going anywhere so there was plenty of time to get the composition right at the point of taking the picture.
Thanks for your comments – very much appreciated.

Did that many times at work – can’t figure something out so walk over to ask someone then just about-turn with an “err, thanks, got it”, I’m sure they thought I was nuts at some stage :lol:

You’re right, the case is part of it, though it doesn’t necessarily need to be included in its entirety.

I stopped short of offering my take on it as I don’t know the circumstance you were in but would have gone lower if possible and changed the angle slightly given the scene and those peripheral distractions. Should have asked him to move right a tad & angle his guitar up a bit more. Oh and move the guitar case a bit too. :lol:
But sure, we all see the same picture opp differently..
