Colvin, "God bless you."by
ericsuthComment by zagman: Thank you for submitting your photo to the People II, DPChallenge.
This is an excellent image of a person next to a signage doorway.
The message is clear and well done. The choice of black and white style, provides a unique look into the man's personality. He is from your description, socially and politically opininated and informed.
I like the look and tone of the photo. It tells the viewer a lot of information. Taking his photo on this particular doorway provides clues on the man's personality. Just curious, I see the large American flag, but I also see a small decal type of American flag, that appears to be upside down. I am sure that there is no message there. I also observe that the doorway to this building may possibly house a bank or similar type of official business, due to the FDIC sticker as well.
Technically the photo lacks some highlights and details. The white balance seems to be over exposed slightly, especially on the white area's of the frame. The subjects face is leaning to his right side. Almost saying, "I am in no rush" go ahead and take your best shot. The BG also appears a little blurred or needed highlights as well. I like the door showing its wear and tear lines. But those, also needed attention. The background also is giving a reverse reflection on to the camera. Giving the viewer a slight reflection distraction.
Overall, a great capture and composition.
Good luck in your future DPChallenges.
