Temple Wall - Soldier Praying At The Kotel -2008

very good use of dof and appropriate framing and composition for this rich and thoughtful reportage. Thank you, Giuseppe

A good documentary photo. One taking a picture, the other praying (I think) while armed to the teeth. Interesting contradictions. Could use a bit tighter cropping and a bit more contrast. But good! 5/5

Really strong composition here - love the DoF and composition - great work.

Funny, indeed; and a fine shot. compliments -koushik

Crop...Your crop suggestion is good.... Would you say this is a better crop?...About contrast. If I push the contrast even a tiny bit I loose all detail in some dark areas expecially the shoes/boots. The seam between the soldiers pant cuff and boot gets lost altogether -is almost gone now on my screen. The hint of texture in the tourist's hair also goes away..... Maybe your monitor is better than mine?.... There is a very strong backlighting; very hard for me to shoot here. Almost the only correct way is with a small amount of fill flash but flash would disturb -not be appreciated.....Yes, I see your crop suggestion improves the image a lot. Thank you very much for your comments.

Everyone, your comments are appreciated.

Great composition of a slice of life. Warm regards Meir.
