    Excellent - sharp, very good tonal range, interesting subject. The post (?) on the RHS is a little distracting - is it worth cropping it out, or do you think its absence will upset the balance of the photo?
  1. Good photo, I like the slightly distorted image (due to the reflection) and the colour (incandescent light bulbs?). You did very well with the framing for a 'shot from the hip' - that's you discreetly holding the camera, right?

    It would be worth experimenting with some cropping, i.e. cut off the blank space on the left hand side. Download Picasa 2 from Google (free!) and you can have some fun trying the different options with your photos.

     

    Have you thought of trying street photography? (do a Google search if you are not familiar with the concept .... but you are doing it already by the looks of your photo!)

     

    P.S. Did everyone spin around and look at you when they heard the shutter? If you want to be really discreet think about getting a rangefinder camera - very quiet and excellent for street photography. You can buy a Yashica Electro 35 (uses film!!) for as little as $10.00 US - amazing cameras, sharp, fast lens, and they love low light situations. They may be 30+ years old, but they were made to last.

  2. I am interested in feedback on this photograph. It is a photo of an

    old woman raking the sand for clams and was taken just after

    sunset. This is a time honoured practice that occurs in the mid-

    year months when clams are easily found just under the surface of

    the sand in the inter-tidal zone. It was taken with a Yashica

    Electro 35 GSN on Kodak BW400CN film. The camera was hand held.

    The photo was taken in Brunei Darussalam on the island of Borneo, SE

    Asia.
