Thanks for taking the time to critique this shot.
ISO is real touchy with the Olympus E-10 and
have pretty much resolved myself to shoot only at ISO 80.
I also had difficulty taking this shot without being seen doing so,
as this was a homelss woman in a crowd.
Being an open challenge, I could do any spot editing, though I
really wish I could have. I knew this would not appeal to many
members, as it isn't a "happy shot" and often people don't
wnat to see teh reality in daily life.
Again, thanks for taking the time here.

Greetings from the Critique Club!
Good concept here. The over-the-shoulder viewpoint and the focal length used arrange the elements together just right for a great composition. The exposure is fine, but the slow shutter speed captured some motion blur in the foot which is rather distracting. A higher ISO would have allowed a faster shutter speed and avoided this; the increased noise possible with higher ISO would also complement the image.
In a journalistic photo like this, post-processing can be a difficult choice. Artistically, the image would benefit from burning the bright toenail a bit, and perhaps some of the brighter areas between the bench slats as well. It may also be effective to darken the midtones to make the image even more low-key. But the image is also fine without these embellishments if a more "true" statement is desired. |

| Focus seems a bit off, either from camera movement or subject movement. I also don't like the white area in the top right and think you should have cropped that out when you took the picture. I'm not sure I like the diagnal lines of the bench slats in this context. Doesn't fit with the homeless theme youi're portraying here. I do, however, like the B&W toning very much. It appears your subject didn't know he was being photographed and this kind of candid photography can be difficult. Really not a bad job overall. |
