Karate

Critique is deeply appreciated.

That's how I learn

A little hot in her jeans, but all in all, very good. The composition, graffiti, and the vertical of the pipe all work well. As does her position in the frame

with out a title to the image, the center pole begs a question of purpose of the shot. is she or her "culture" contrasted to the graffiti? OK for the pole. is she in a street situation? not OK for the pole. this would then determine the ratings: 5/5 on the former, 3/3 (?) on the later. a confused average=4/4. jh

Good point, but either way, isn't the pole a part of a stark street scene?

I'm not getting your point here.

To me it's whether it works as a picture.

Does it catch your eye?

My idea with the pic was to present an urban streetpic with originality and catch the walking woman to make the pic more "alive".

The title was supposed to be "Karate", being the poster on the pole. To me, posters on poles are a typical "citysign".

I don't really know what Jack is talking about. I think you succeeded in what you were trying to convey

Thanks for the support, Ken ;)

I appreciate the comment, JH. Don't get me wrong, I just didn't get it.

Interesting image, i do like this shot, but its a little to hot.

I like it very much, but I am not sure about the centered placement for the pole. I tried out a square crop and made a sacrifice of parts of the graffiti, just an idea

I like the pole dead center. It works in this shot because the pole isnt the subject, the woman is.

Una imagen muy lograda
