Woman In The Shuk 070808-14 -Jerusalem

is an archetype, because it captures perfectly that moment of total "external blindness" (apart the viewfinder) that all the photographers know very well: thank you Meir, ciao, Giuseppe

I would say good shot, nicely captured Meir. I like her pose the refined way that she is holding the camera, which brings the hands into play in this portrait. Looking through the view finder with her left eye (correct way for me) thus leaving her face open and visible. I won't bore you with the 'good selective focusing' etc. But I like the concentrated, honest expression on her face posed for that decisive shot unaware that she is being photographed herself. The arms form a triangle by holding the camera and mostly anything triangular shaped has a pleasing effect in photography. Of course when captured skilfully. Very good portrait. regards, Dara

Thank you for looking. And for your observation that adds a lot.

Thank you and you are very correct about triangles -people like triangles. Probably started with the Greeks.

Very good for the girl's expression.

Regards
