Redline Portrait

I'd appreciate comments on composition. This is a scan from an 8x10

print, and it's really just a rough draft. I know I have to work on

contrast.

terrific shot! Love the composition, and you really captured a sublime look on her face. Was she your "model", or did you simply come across her there? Either way, I love it.

Thanks! This is a candid shot, and I don't know who she is. She just happened to look up at me while I was taking the picture.

Nice candid.

If it truly is a candid (ie, no one you know) then you got yourself a gem. If you don't already know who he is, look up Gary Winogrand. Just try not to die with 5'000+ rolls of unprocessed film in the fridge...

In fact this shot really reminds me of a frame from Robert Frank's 'Americans', the one of the elevator girl. In the words of Keruoac "Hey sad eyed girl. What's your name, what's your number" (approx..)

I just cant stop looking at it

Not only is the girl great, look in the background through the window! Good exposure and NOT posed!! Become the subway skulker and take great pictures...
