killing time with a friend Photo

Photographer’s Note

Santos is a very nice city and port on the beach. The squares in the old center attract many unemployed and retired men who meet there daily. I found these 2 playing a table game, ...that yellow bag is bothering me a bit, but if i told them to move it, i would have ruined the moment...

You've taken a good shot of a tough situation...a few composition points I have to make:
-the man with his back to you unfortunately takes away from the scene... he's an important piece of the photo though - did you happen to take any shots from the side?
-a shot from the side also might put the smiling man's head in a slightly better framing - did you notice he looks almost ready for Carnivàl?
On the very positive side, the note is good, the yellow bag is no big deal, and you have shown us a piece of socio-economic reality. Bravo.
PS - I have a workshop I will post tomorrow (beyond limit for tonight)

j'aime bien cette photo. notament l'angle de vue qui permet de voir l'homme à l'arrière plan qui s'en va. (il a perdu ? )en revanche le joueur assis sur ce coussin jaune a lui un sourire qui en dit long sur son jeu.
bonne composition bravo. je regrette seulement que l'on ne puisse pas voir l'échiquier, mais ça n'engage que moi.
