  1. Bruno also is a fan of Cartier Bresson, I think. I would agree that cropping is not the answer here. It's very interesting to note how the character of the photographer comes out in street shots though. There's no doubt that it's a very difficult subject area in which to succeed, and few do as well as you have here. The capture of a single, unambiguous human emotion succeeds most often, I think, which is probably what holds this together. I enjoyed your other shots too, some are absolutely excellent with great ideas of patterning and juxtaposition from random events.
  2. Nice photo, John, though perhaps there are three subjects here: the bride and groom, the two characters in the background who are exchanging a look and the view. Still, as you say, this is a street photograph and you cannot control the situation, but the best street photos seem to me to be the ones in which the nexus of events contribute to one aesthetic or emotional theme / event. Have you looked at the work of Bruno Trematore?

    The blue certainly works for me, but it's the combination of strong, exotic foreground shapes against hazy background that gives the image real power. Manipulation beyond unsharp and changes made at time of scan (if you scan) tends to give the image a false feel (in my opinion).
