acarodp 0 Posted June 14, 2015 Hi Brad,a nice documentary image, of the kind that tell "what we are" for the times to come. I find the crop too tight on the left and the bottom, having some space on the side of the man, and under the wheels, would give the image more space to "breathe". Cheers! Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted June 14, 2015 No deal breaker that this one is cropped a tad tightly on the left. You've nailed the essence; the man with a dog who's feet are apparently too tender for city sidewalks. The man's demeanor suggests that he is fully aware of the humour he's projecting with the stroller & his best friend. A fine street shot that the subject would likely appreciate a copy of. Best, Len.

Brad Cloven 58 Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, folks. You are all correct, of course. Here's a little more about the picture and why it turned out this way:This was a "snap" shot, in that I spotted him waiting for the crosswalk while riding my bike home from work. I had to ditch the bike, negotiate a photo, retrieve the camera, guess an exposure (f/5.6 in bright shade on a black guy?), frame, focus and shoot, ALL BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED. That's "snap" in my book; I usually take a few minutes per shot. The error in the shot is the framing, which if I could do it again would allow more margins left and bottom. Link to comment
