That's the first thing I spotted too. As a small image on my desktop before I clicked on it, I thought it was a cat sat in the window looking out. Even so, on full image, it's still interesting as your eyes investigate the scene. I think with street, framing is everything. For me, it's about creating an image that guides the eye and I love paradoxes and the juxtaposition of elements. For me, the left of frame is all distraction and I'd do away with it completely. For me the interest is the couple and the dog, the rest is just dressing that adds nothing. The perfect shot would be the 2 people and 2 animals with their heads in either some sort of synchronicity or maybe the opposite. I like quite graphical structure to my street pics so I will often wait for a while to get what I hope for - and often it never arrives! That said, we all should be making pics for ourselves - ones that we like - and if others like them too then can;t be all bad ;-) My .02 cheers -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
