Different interests

Thank you for your comments and critiques!

Interesting shot!

hi Gunnar.. and he would be me.. i have a very limited attentiion span... hey whats he doin?great moment soooooo traditional tourists you have captured here... samme

Ranga and Samme, thank you for your comments! My interpretation with this photograph is that he (the younger man) is interested what I am doing, she is interested in gigantic hero, and the security guy is interested in young lady. They look at different directions according to their interests. That is why it is entitled "Different interests":).

perhaps if it was cropped a little tighter on the three subjects, while still retaining a sufficient amount of the door engravings, your intent could be perceived without explanation. i luv the composition and the clever idea. a little closer and more contrast would've done more justice to your intent. superb concept, Gunnar! dp

Donna, thank you for your comment, I like the alternative crop. 

Great capture! Without the capture, I think most of us would have gotten the point of the image, so I'm wondering if the caption is unnecesarily leading, perhaps even redundant. But, then again, maybe I'm giving myself undue credit for my ability to guess the answer after seeing it, like watching Jeopardy! (yes, need the exclamation point) with subtitles.

As a chronic titler, will defend to the death your right to title whatever and however you choose. However, I also agree with Emmanuel here. The picture of itself is interesting enough to hold my attention and find the storyline (if I need one at all). The contrast between the three modern day individuals and the fanciful world portrayed on the carved walls is a short-story in itself.

i quite like this composition... the square crop cuts off too much of the door engravings... they are a significant segment of this scene; the object of the young lady's interest should remain in the frame... and the Medusa-like figure under the gigantic 'hero' too is a player in this cameo... perhaps his frozen interest is in the lady, or perhaps the quite unheroic figure beside her... i offer up another option...

The crops all leave out the top of the door which I think is an important feature to give a sense of scale and serve as a natural upper boundary. As interesting as the human trio is, this picture would fall flat without the contrast of the intricately carved walls.

I liked your original, even without the title ;)

I guess the luckiest of all involved, is the photographer!
