Image 30 (Riga)

Excellent photojournalism ...... Nice composition and a wide range on the gray scale.

Liva,

 

I've enjoyed your work!!! I'm going to Vilnius in Lithuania in November, so I was interested in seeing work from fellow Balts. Your work has me really excited.

 

About this picture...it's a fine shot. I do a lot of street photography myself. I think it could have been better if you would have stooped down a little. It's taken from the photographer's eye level. You'd get the viewer so much closer to the subject by taking the shot at the subject's eye level.

Its sad shot

Given the posture of the subject and the mood the image conveys, I think shooting from above the subject's eye level was the right choice.
