  1. Simon Croft:

    I don't think it would be better if she were larger in the frame. If anything, it might work better if she were a much smaller figure, perhaps showing more of a (hopefully interesting) interior. A small lost figure in a dark interior, perhaps surrounded by dozens of umbrellas, might have a lot of impact.

    Contrary to Simon's opinion (respectfully), I think the composition of the present image is well thought-out. There is quite an uncanny balance between positive and negative spaces, with the negative spaces (the foreground path/floor, as well as the dark fabric background) and positive (umbrellas) marching the viewers' eyes effectively to the lady umbrella maker. Whether or not the shot was set up is a whole different discussion, but the composition as it is is very effective, imho.

    There is an Asian proverb that goes something like "The world is under a mother's/woman's feet." If the pic shows more of the person-- especially if the person is a female -- then the proverb would go very well with the image. A thought provoking picture!
  2. Thank you. I used the spot metering function of the camera and then compensated for reciprocity failure. I did 3 other frames with different shutter speeds to bracket the exposure. Some came out darker and the others brighter.
