This is not a setup shot I was crossing the street when this scene opened up before me. the two subjects( the pretty girl and the sailors ) should be interested in each other but are not.

A little better focus and this would be great... 7 for the effort

Great picture -- I just wish the focus wasn't so soft. There are a number of other minor elements that don't exactly help the photo, but since it's a grab shot -- I'm guessing while people waited to cross the street -- there's not a lot you can do about them (like a shallower depth of field to throw the far background completely out of focus). Love the black of her clothes vs. the white of their uniforms. Just a fun picture.

Nicely framed though it may be a little bright/washed out.

Good find!

There's too much to this story that we aren't told.... I do like the contrast of woman's black clothes to sailors' whites.
06/28/2002 05:57:00 PM
Now if you could have gotten one of the sailors to stare at her...

This photo looks like it was posed. Was it?
06/28/2002 12:31:00 PM
This is nice, but a bit blurry
06/28/2002 09:22:00 AM
Hilarious!
06/27/2002 08:20:00 PM
hahaha great
06/27/2002 06:04:00 PM
nice photo
06/27/2002 01:53:00 PM
The focus isn't real sharp on this one.
06/27/2002 06:07:00 AM
the story this tells is very funny. i wish it was alittle sharper. 8

blurred, but nice concept
06/26/2002 12:06:00 PM
cool shot :) I'm trying to figure out if the sailors or the girl is most 'disinterested' :) = 6 - jmsetzler

Somewhat fuzzy. Nice contrasting elements (the people's clothes). Photo 5 City 6 total 6

LOL when I saw this. Your photo tells quite a story. Nice composition. Keep it up!
06/25/2002 07:56:00 PM
Cool pic. Girl not interested in the uniforms - they obviously not interested in her. Makes you wonder. Plus with the hair twirling - hmm.
06/25/2002 04:58:00 PM
Great title.
06/25/2002 01:24:00 PM
I love how everyone is looking in different directions, except for the girl, who seems to be looking at you. Her black is also a nice contrast on their white uniforms. It seems a bit fuzzy to me, though.
06/24/2002 06:54:00 PM
This is hilarious. Boy does she look insecure. What are they looking up at that doesn't catch her eye? More focus needed but a great shot anyway. 8
06/24/2002 04:39:00 PM
Great shot. Very expressive. Good image quality. What are they looking up at? just curious. Well done!
06/24/2002 04:22:00 PM
Nice contrast between the girl in black and the guys in white!
06/24/2002 02:59:00 PM
Great moment to catch - if this isn't a set-up. Just a pity it isn't in focus... Therefore I can't really rate it high.
06/24/2002 09:45:00 AM
Such a moment! Of course, the contrast in outfits, gender, race, pose, size, everything, is really striking. Focus could be sharper. Good framing. This is the kind of thing one sees a lot in the city-the convergence of differences, tightly packed.
06/24/2002 09:18:00 AM
They all look bored. Odd the guys aren't checking out the girl. Humm? More on their minds. LOL Funny capture, great humor shot. Kee
06/24/2002 08:44:00 AM
very cool shot! shame she looks a bit out of focus...
06/24/2002 07:43:00 AM
nice contrast - good pic!
06/23/2002 09:36:00 PM
Oh my, I am afraid to ask....good pic though!
06/23/2002 08:50:00 PM
I quite like this shot. It's too bad the image is out of focus though. Also, this is a photo which would have greatly benefited had the 'rule of thirds' been followed (ie. Your subject, the girl, should be placed either more towards the left or right, instead of dead centre).
