The Met, New York

This old man was sort of in the way of another shot I wanted to make,

so I decided to put him in the frame instead of waiting for him to

disappear. Thoughts, comments, and critiques most appreciated.

Bo,

Thanks for you comment and critique on my image ("Pressure's Off!").

This is one of my favorites of your set. A great contrast between the man and the bust - evokes memories of the style of Cartier-Bresson.

The oblique lines of the tiles nicely lead the eye from the man to the bust. The passageway framing the bust is echoed by the "arch of light" vignetting the bust. Nice contrasts between the rounded lines of the man and the bust with the straight, geometric lines of the tiles and walls.

I wonder if "cloning out" the pamphlet in the man's hands might  help...
