'Closing Time at the Old-Fashioned Butcher Shop'

Composition is the key in this photo depicting actors in the workplace

during closing time at the old-fashioned, Soviet-style butcher shop,

in Kyiv, Ukraine. Your ratings, critiques and observations are

invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly, very critically, or

wish to make a remark, please submit a helpful and constructive

comment, please share your photographic knowledge to help improve my

photography. Thanks! Enjoy! john

Notice the geometry of the placement of the four figures; the three humans and the pig's skull each define the points of a parallelogram or 'diamond'.  The scale is roughly at the center point.

Each mass/object is oriented differently, without regard apparently to the others.

Characters with clearly defined roles, all arranged around the weighing scale - the fulcrum of the composition. A fine document.

Your comment is a master of precision, insight and brevity.

WOW!

There's nothing left for me to say, except

Thanks.
