people in the street Roasted Chestnuts Seller - Rome 2009 (ver. 2 - tnx to Pnina)

Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions.

 

This is the second version of a work I posted yesterday: I have gladly accepted Pnina Evental suggestions on cropping and re-composing the original version.

 

G.

Thank you very much for accepting and adding that version.

Entering the photo now, I come right to the main subject without any other elements that interfer in my enjoying it. ( my feeling of course). I have added later( on the previous version) some explanation about cropping the upper part.

 

Thanks again,

Great composition.7/7anon.Regards.Janusz.

good crop. Very good shot. Regards

Bellissima Giuseppe, come piacciono a me! Ciao

 

Beautiful colors, nice crop, in our old town! Ciao Sergio

Great work! This is one of my favorites.

Excellent capture of a daily scene in the city of Rome. An image that really tells a story

Congratulations, it is a fantastic and meaningful image!... Beautiful warm, and something antique, colors in a charismatic mood. Composition is also very good. I agree with the "too much ground" in the previous version but I must say that, in this case, I feel the lamp absence.

 

Best regards.

I've looked it up and indeed, the crop is a good idea. It's a good and telling photo but to be honest the reds are way oversaturated. But impressive work as ever.

Hi Giuseppe, Great capture here and I like the tones very much along with your comp. Take care 7/6a

for all the comments, critiques and suggestions.

 

Imho everybody is right - those who feel the lamp should stay there, and those who like it square.

 

The two different versions narrate a somewhat different story, and have peculiar geometries such to inspire different imaginative thoughts.

 

The color issue (thanks to Master Ton) is one that I had already addressed while post producing this work: maybe I pushed the reds a bit too far, but you know, I am so used to b/w ;-)

 

As far as the low crop is considered, I usually kneel and like to put cobblestones in the foreground while shooting in Rome central area: this is usually done to "immerse" more and more my dear subjects in such a peculiar environment.

 

Sorry if I bored you with my personal thoughts on my work but I like so much to receive such honest critiques that I couldn't stay silent! Let me send you a big big thank you again

 

Ciao

I liked the sense of expectation conveyed by both the man and the empty chair. Excellent composition...

I like this crop much better than the original. It focuses the attention on the man. I agree with the Tonmeister about the red tones.

Giuseppe, just a joy to look at.

With regards

Bella immagine Giuseppe!

Un saluto, Fabrizio

A wonderful photo! Timeless beauty. Regards
