the local scene

Hi Michael. I really like this photo. It serves to show that there is something more in daily life besides the cell phone. In the scene being photographed, the cell phone is still as adult link element with the exterior, but the little girl is with the attention focused on the next bid she will give in the game of chess. She's already lost a bishop and a knight. His adult opponents lost a pawn and a bishop. Analyzing the situation of the pieces on the board, the little girl is at a disadvantage. I really enjoyed the story behind the photo. It seems that the little girl still didn't notice the "advantages" of the cell phone, even with its presence on the table. The composition is very balanced. The chaos of the environment was very well dominated. Congratulations! I liked the color version. The balance of the color version is excellent. There are some lighter areas in this bw-version that could be improved by application of PS’s Camera Raw filter. Best regards. Roldao.

This segment of shots shows you have a knack for emotive "street photography". Keep it up, this is what your audience wants to see!

Thanks Roldao and Jack!! Much appreciated!! I was going for a "street feel". I'm hoping to get some more of this type of work done in 2019!!
