Framed

This photo is of passengers waiting for their train. Please provide

constructive critique to help me learn. Many thanks.

So nice to hear from you, and also to 'see' from you. This is  well composed, with broad range of tonalities. The bored mood of waiting is well documented. Best wishes.  

Nice concept. Although I would have loved to put one profile within the blank left frame from a different angle, just an afterthought. I like the tones, it has come out well.

Aptly named. I like this very much, but without the man at left. He is looking away and draws me out of the frame as I wonder what he's looking at.

I played around with it a little and this is what I got in Picasa: a square crop, slightly tilted...

Hope this helps...

Jayantidi, Rajnish, Rajatda: Thank you for your interest and comments on my work.

Rajatda, I did try to straighten the photo just like you have done; but I found that the bearded man's feet got cut off rather uncomfortably. Also, the square crop, to me, makes the photo abrupt (or incomplete, if you like). To me the fact that the other man looks the other way is not distracting; it adds a sense of realism to the situation. This is what we would perhaps encounter in life rather than an all-complete situation. But thanks for highlighting your points. I have learnt something new from your views.

Samrat, I like the composition and contrast of moods and tone. What are those marks on the lower-half of the  wall? It is a familiar sight in North India Railway Station:-)

This is an attractive street shot with classical cinematographic bw tonality. It’s a story-telling image with an attached feeling tone. Imho, the tilt is a flaw in capture but somehow it goes with the mood of the composition. Best regards.

love the composition...

noon Samrat. no cut here. while young man is a subject, together with bridge, the second man is adding something of sociology here. very good imperfectal street
