Angel lady at the Street performing festival at Merrion Square, June 09Hi Daniela,
A nice selection of photos there.
The subject of #1 looks like an interesting character and maybe if it had been
possible to engage with him it would have made a more interesting image.
The eyes can be important and they are absent here.
I also feel that a BW coversion might suit this subject better.
There is a lot of blue which kinda dominates.I think a portrait format would have suited #2 better and filled the frame with
your subjects.
There is a good bit of unneeded space around them.
The mono treatment suits, I think.I think the light lets #3 down.
The angel lady is a little murky.
The gentleman immediately behind your subject is a distraction as well and you
have clipped a wing.These are just observations and hopefully constructive.
Cheers.
John.
Hi John, thanks,
I will take this in consderation for the next time. I know, #3 is very blue-ish, it was on the Street Performing festival on Merrion square. I didn’t manage to cut out people completely, as soon as you think you got a good sight onto a subject, someone walks into the scene. Annoying!
#1, he was lighting a cigarette,it was hard enough for me to ask whether I could take a photo of him and mostly asking makes people be aware what;s gonna happen n they might behave different, trying to look in the camera or even sing into the camera as it it was a tourist pic being taken. I told him to just behave normal and do what he normally does…
#2 turned out nice, it’s a neighbour of ours with his dog. I took the pic in colour, but then edited it to b/w as it looked nicer and ore dramatic with a bit contrast.
Have a nice day,
Daniela
Very good feedback from John.
A good selection of shots and first would have been good with eye contact as he looks a real character. Quick sharpen on 2 would also help
