Woman Painting her Old House

Street shot from the old town of Atyrau, Kazakhstan.

Nice photo, but the out of focus fence bothers me a little ... and the one prong piercing her head .... Maybe if she had been centered between the prongs?

 

I wonder how she got the Homeowner's Association to approve the color?

 

 

Funny, blurred foreground usually does. But here, I can look past the fence to the painter without any effort. In fact, because the fence is blurred and a pleasing color, I'm drawn to look past. Excellent composition, color palette, and crop. She's so intent. A day in the life . . . well done! Cheers -

Thanks for comments. Maybe if head was between it would be better. But I didn't have time to compose, was passing and have to shoot quick to avoid distracting her which would ruin the photo.

For me blurred fence add some dynamism and invite to look over.

If you look at my portfolio, I posted few photos with houses in old Atyrau. Blue is predominant.
