Bridging Cultural Ties

This is a good way to see different cultures in action.

It's funny what happens when two countries collide. You have a lot of different reactions here and it's neat to study each of their reactions, however, as a photograph I think it could have been shot a little more intuitively. Nice colors, nice exposure, great inclusion of the different reactions to this blonde headed bombshell by these young me of very different cultures.

Jennifer, thanks for your comments but I still don't understand what you mean by "could have been shot a little more intuitively". Can you or anyone else care to elaborate?

I can't elaborate easily on the intuitive aspect either. One thing I might suggest is to have cropped the image such that greater emphasis goes toward the boy in the middle and the girl. Although, the fellow with the great smile on the right also brings something here, maybe cutting him out will bring greater focus to the two "key' figures.

The smiling bearded drummer at the right provides joy to the viewer and should be included IMO. I find perhaps the half cut figure of the man on the extreme left can be omitted but that will be manipulating the image.

I like this one, ever thought of maybe B&W to accentuate the faces and draw attention away from the color. Their expressions are all so interesting.
