Stop it!, a photo from Shanghai, East

Photographer's Note

This policeman that is ruling the people crossing seems very exhausted. Our look is attracted on him thanks to the fuzzy ambiance. He seems lost in his thoughts, that is amplified by the fuzzy: Where is he?

Your movement is very well caught but it's distracting. I might have cropped at left, just next to the policeman to keep the eyes on him.

Interesting subject - perhaps a little bit dark. Possibly better if you could see a person that the policeman was looking at...

This is a really good capture-- I wouldn't adjust it much at all (maybe burn in the yellow patch on the left slightly). The policeman stands out and you don't need to show what he's looking at because the relationship between him and his point of attention isn't what this image is about. It's about what's in the note; his exhaustion, the blur of all these total strangers.
