    Shot with 85mm, which is normally way to long for may liking. On this picture shallow depth of filed adds to the atmosphere.

    Anyway here’s my opinion for what its worth.

    I can’t get anything from the image for a number of reasons

    1. Everyone has their back to me, even the Pigeons
    2. The blurred foreground I find distracting
    3. Its a wee bit underexposed.
    4. The subject/s of the shot are too small

    It looks a bit like a shot where you just looked up, saw the old lady and raised the camera and took the shot.

    For me the shot is preferably with the lady walking towards me or from directly behind her with the cobblestones in focus so as to add some texture and pattern to the shot. Even moving in closer so as fill more of the image with the subjects and eliminating the foreground would be better as the blurred foreground is just taking up room and of no interest.

    As I said this is just my opinion. I would be interested in hearing others opinions.
