little people Freedom

thanks for your critique and any comments.

I like the idea, the DOP and the lovely kid.

 

I don't like the man on the left: he's too close and he seems to be about to kick or to stumble over the kid... :)

 

I have an overall impression of imbalance: the kids is the central concept of the shot but he's disproportionate compared to the other two figures and to the background.

What about of a cropped version?

 

Just a matter of opinions!

 

Good job Aneta!

Judging by the ratings you give and your total lack of any words to support the ratings you give I am going to guess that you think this photograph is wonderful and you are not really interested in what others think.

Thanks 4 your comment - I was thinking of cropping the photo just like you did but...

There is this men walking from left and he is caring a white napkin. I did't want to loose it. The photo was taken last summer at the city play ground. The little hero run away from the play ground, got on the sidewalk (his dad was watching him carefully). The whole scene looked hilarious. Passengers was passing by the little one was crawling - two alien worlds...

Your comment is interesting and well received. :)

What happens when you lose a bet?

I really like this pic and the compo too, only wish being a tad more focus on the lil one, I know its tough with an open aperture lens DOF and the subject moving towards you.... thanks for sharing Aneta

The baby is nicely in focus, and I like the depth of field, but I don't like the man walking toward the baby, looking like he is going to kick him/her. I cropped it for you here.

I like the original crop because it shows where the baby is and that is the whole point... little kid on a sidewalk in a big city. out of place and determined to get somewhere

 

I like the shot, though it does seem to require a minor crop to complete it. I love the baby's look of determination, of intentionality. Depth of field on the bricks circles around the subject-- I like that too. Lovely photo. ~victor

I love everything about this photo. I like the way you cropped it. I kind of get the idea that the baby thinks he has the freedom, but he doesn't know what's coming and he's in new territory. The white napkin kind of seems out of place. but other than that Very well done!
