100 walk cut fix sh

Your opinion matters to me.

Nice use of the white line to divide the picture into overlapping panels, almost a day/night or light/shadow diptych. The right half works very well and I especially like her hand straying just over the line which works as a unifying element. The left half seems a bit murky. I don't know whether you used a partial vignette or adjusted the brightness for effect (or maybe it's naturally that way) but I think a bit of fine tuning, especially in the upper left corner, might balance the picture a bit more.

Nice bw-street result. I like the leading line. It sounds like she's a stick thin. It “tells a story”. Nice street composition. Very well done. Congratulations. Roldao

I like the alternating dark and light tones that are found on the woman: soles/shoes/legs/skirt/blouse/hair.  I feel like I'm missing something, though, because the left half of the picture doesn't seem to fit into any story.  There is little to hold my attention or intrigue me or tell me anything, so I fall back onto the formal elements as the raison d'etre for the shot.  And certainly those elements are good - the lines, shapes, and tones - but I keep looking for more.

The photo looks dark to me, especially the left side, which I understand is in shadow, and it has detail, but I'd like to see it lighter.  I think it would also be good to have more contrast in the woman, and texture in the fabric and her hair.

Jack, Roldao and Mark. Thank you for your very useful comments.

I shot the image from the hip, while I was walking. There was not much time to think or calculate. I processed it to the dark side, and made it so dark that you can only see some of the details in the darkness. My purpose was to take elements away from the image to make an undisturbed presentation of the important part of the motive. I hope it makes sense.

oh My!!

"Shot the image from the hip"... very appropriate.  An excellent, spontaneous catch... Mike
