what if...

waiting for someone at the Pink Pony in New York. The framing could

be better, but considering I shot this from out table, and any other

angle just brought other hungry customers into the picture;

considering I am really happy how this turned out

It's a busy photo, Ignacio, but I think it works very, very nicely. The young lady is obviously the center of attention in the photo and she's separated from everything else by the lighting and her light clothing. And the look on her face...she looks as if she's waiting for someone who is probably late...very late. Glad you posted this in B&W...I can't imagine it working better in color. Kudos!

Great B&W image.Simple but a thoughtful photo..Excellent perspective of your photography....

Fantastic photo!

Very nice.

great shot! as u said, you could have framed it better. but this works for me. title is also great! some other titles like "waiting.." or "dreaming" would have been boaring.."what if.." is very strong.

I really like this picture. The lighting on her face is perfect. A couple of suggestions: Why not crop out the customer and the eggs on the left. I don't think it would hurt to have her a little off center and looking off the long side of the pix. I think toning down the two bright spots behind her head would help too. I really like the "feel" of this photo. Wouldn't have worked in color.

Hahaha Yep, I was thinking the exact same thing, that is crop off the left side(eggs). I would also dodge a bit on the left side of her face.

Good shot

I think the framing on both sides add greatly to this photo. Without the "eggs" it would loose some of it's punch, possibly some of the right side could be removed if needed, however I don't see any need for this. Great capture, best I've seen in a while.

Excellent composition and lovely tones. A picture with soul. Should be in the top on top list. Pure and clean photography.

Her pose and expression are wonderful. I would vote for cropping the left. Keeping the right preserves a sense that she is looking outside. Excellent work.

This is obviously such a personal thing, but the one thing I find distracting is the "gothic dolphins" text. Otherwise really really nice.

A classic...like a classic and it is a classic! 7/7

This is great! I would've never thought to crop it this way, but now that you have it's excellent. I wouldn't change a thing. You've made some beautiful choices here!

Excellent photo

very nice shot. BRAVO

I have a question. With a situation like this...where the subject doesn't know they're being photographed....do you ask for their permission afterwards? Or do you just walk away? I know you're supposed to ask but what is the consensis?

The picture i very nice, you`ve catched realy sensual and romantic moment. I read the coments above and most of them suggest to remove the eggs ti the left of the picture. I recommend you leave them there, but make them darker,because now they are as bright as the main subject and atract too much attention.

I really like this photo

This is one of my favorite images on photonet!

Congrats, b&w was the best choice, it's such a great scene for me :)

This, too, is on of my favorite photos on Photo.net. I keep comeing back to it. I suggested earlier to crop the eggs and the customer. I have since changed my mind. They add to the story and all the great stuff that is going on in this photo. Here is my take. This girl is a young mother. Her body has a softness of a new mother to it. Her bag is not a purse but a bag for carry baby stuff in. Purses do not have Snoopy on them. I wonder if on the floor to her right there is not a baby carrier with a baby in it? I think she and baby are waiting for Dad to pick them up. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :-) Love the photo.

Framing better?...composition is great here! Love the available light. Nice street photography, great sentiment within. Kind Regards, Cindi

This is unbelievable! Definitely one of the better candid street shots that I have seen, just excellent. The lighting on the girl is incredible, and your B&W conversion has given this photo an almost timeless look. You have captured an incredible amount of mood and feeling...I can't say enough about this shot. I would not change a thing with this photo.
