EMPTY STREET Photo

Photographer’s Note

dont know why i took this photo at all.. probably its the empty street ( but u can say me some people are here in the street still ) , probably because of the light and shadow .. because of the architecture, because of the people in this photograph.. because of the loneliness... because they are all going to opposite directions...may be because of the empty car ...may be because of the no-entry board..

i dont know .. really i dont know.. Do u know ??

This is a good photo to be shared. I like the tone and the expression of objects in this photo, also for the car. But, perhaps, if you put a little humanist touch on it, it would be better, in my opinion.

maybe you were just walking and pressed the shutter for mistake eheh, but i'm glad you did it Sandip, i like the mood, there people and a car, but the street is empty, empty of life or joy, everyone seems tremendously focused in their own lifes...

nice photo Sandip, well composed, with lines coming from bottom corners and meeting up in the middle, interesting backgrpund. but the left bottom corners is too empty - there should be sth to balance the frame. and there is nothing surprising or making me to think...
I see you are trying shooting street photos in the UK - it is not easy, I had lots of problems with self-confidence at the begining, still it is hard to me to shoot on the streets of Cardiff, hard to come close to people. i think you have the same problem - you are afraid of coming closer to people, you should work on it ;) you should make the people the main subject of your photos, now they are just there... good luck

Sandip,
Who knows why you took it, but it is a very good photo. The symmetrical no-entry signs, juxtaposed with the pedestrians distributed across the frame are very well balanced, and the car looking the same way as the man also adds to the mood. Love your sepia tone that sketches a gloomy day. Good photo.

Hello Sandip,
your last compo in b&w are really great. I like them a lot, this one is better for me, more readable, deeper thanks to this street, the perspective it creates, the PP, it's a success.
Well done
Luan
