The Barbers

Any views on this Saturday morning barbers shot would be appreciated.

Many thanks William

A very nice original shot, William!

With best regards,

Ruud.

I quite enjoyed this photo, especially after I realized that the two customers on the right are actually the same person. Very cool to see what a difference a bit of light and a view of the other half of the face can make (both for the barber and the customer). The only thing that I would like to ad is that I find the towel rack on the far right of the photo a bit distracting (maybe because it is one of the few places in the picture that has a larger concentration of red) and the customers forced onto the left side. (That sounds worse than what I feel) A very small shift to the left to get rid of those towels and give the people a touch more space in the photo would have been nice. But even though I have used so many words for it, it is only a minor point and I think you have done a good job of capturing a great Saturday morning. (my guess).

Original shot! Well done!

nice. :)

If I had not read Otto's comment I doubt I would've figured it out.  This is great. Something you rarely see around here.

Well composed, excellent control of exposure.

I might be tempted to have a go at closer up - get right into the beard and bristles - and let the reflections soften in the bokeh. But then I'm a pretentious arty type wannabee!!  As a record shot this is excellent.
