A moment at the backstage of a cabaret show in Thailand

How do you find the composition? pls point out the flaws critically.

thanks

I really like the cropping, it enforces an idea that these girls are faceless. Pardon the pun.

I didn't intend to crop off her fact initially. I was about to take a picture of her (whole face included) when I spot this other gal running out. So i just tilt down and snap. that's it. it was really a spontaneous moment for me as I reacted without thinking.

 

How do u find the composition?

I like how you cut off the eyes, it gives more of a focus on the women as objects.

I think this picture would have been stronger if you had either included this girls face of focused on the girl running out. Or maybe just used a longer DOF.

this could be a really effective snap. however i find that the left corner is a bit too busy. could be cropped out maybe so that the front faceless mystery and the back of the woman remains solely. but spontaneous pics, i know how it is. nice effort. you have a definete knack for observing the world behind the camera. greetings.

When I first saw this photo I did't think of "women as objects," I saw instead a very busy place with people running around between shows to get ready for the next. Backstage is no place to relax. It seems as if the woman who's head is cropped turned around at just the right (or wrong) moment and looked at the camera.

This is really cool. I like the posture, and the cropping. It comes off a bit flashy though - too much light in the foreground. I have this problem too. I'm not sure how to fix it: bounce flash? slower shutter speed?

The absense of her eyes, is somewhat discomforting at first. On second thought then, the total absence of eyes, which essentially is a total absence of face in the photo, just works well and gives way to some interesting readings of the photo. Your transsexual cabaret backstage photos are fantastic. You have style and an eye for composition. I wish you'd share some larger versions.
