Waiting

Any comments? Thank you all.

I really like it, it made me look at each person independently to view the sample of Americana of Ohio...maybe a little less forground, the way the shadow seperates the rocks takes a little bit away from the people, I might have like to have seen what would have happened if you cropped it right below the sidewalk with just a bit of the rocks showing and on the right to remove the boy leaning against the wall...

So many intersting stories in this photo. Good idea...

I agree with Ken, that leaning boy is really distracting. I suggest cropping right to the sidewalk without any stones, even if this was my photo I would have probably removed those three leftmost people with large space between them and others too.

very nice and well done!

I give you credit for taking a more interesting composition (The panorama) with this subject, but its still not very interesting. i'd prefer not to see the cut off people on the sides. Your composition idea however distances the viewer from the subjects, they're too small to get any feeling from them, which is what is needed in a shot like this.

I agree with Toshio´s crop. I think he shows a chunk of a very long line. With the proposed crop it would be as if it was the whole line. Congrats Toshio!!

I agree with Marina, Toshio´s crop is very good. When something on the edge of frame is cut off, not whole, it suggest continuation, the line goes on. The subject is the line, not the people, the people make up the line, like trees make up the forest. The foreground is fine, there is really nothing there but space, it balances nice with the head room and gives the people some terra firma to stand on. The shadow helps create the sense of being outdoors. The revised crop of Arash feels too sterile it has lost the story.

 

These are of course just my opinions, never the less they're right, of course ;)

I love this picture just the way Toshio submitted it. Great story telling, well done!

 

It's not juist the composition but the expressions of the people ... this is really excellent.

I love the way they are all oblivious to the camera. You could spend hours with caption bubbles for each person. Great stuff.

Nice idea!
