Hello Gerard and welcome on TreakEarth! Wonderful picture to start your presence here. I like the framing, how you put the girl on the left side, leaving the center wor the beautiful street life. I also like the huge name of the street.

All my best wishes,
Adrian

Hallo Gerard,

Welkom op TE, hopelijk vind je je weg een beetje hier in de stroom aan foto's die hier dagelijks passeren.
Je eerste upload is veel belovend. Zeer strak in ZW en heb eht idee dat je de kleuren versie behoorlijk hebt opgekrikt om een heerlijk contrast te creeren. Aandacht ligt geheel op de gitarist en die straalt dan ook mooi in het licht. Mooi perspectief in diepte en vooral de setting van de straat vind ik mooi gekozen....prima eerste upload.

Groet,

Henk

Hi Gerard,
Welcome to TE!
Beautiful shot of ole' Grafton St.
Perhaps closer approach to musician and cropping 30% from right hand side could be beneficial for your photography...
But anyway... effect is breathtaking!
TFS and greetings from Dublin!

Welcome to TE Gerard.
Well composed with anchoring the action on the guitarist, stationnary in the never ceasing movement of a commerciel street.Your angle gives a good depth towards the end of the street.
The B&W rendition is very neat,

Promising first post

HI Gerard, welcome to TE, what a great photo to start off with! The conversion to B&W is both dramatic and an excellent choice. The DOF is spot-on and the subjects are so sharp. Congratulations, Lisa.

Hello Gerard.
And welcome to TE. You have started your gallery with a very strong b/w shot with great perspective in the composition, and dynamic lighting effect in your conversion. I particularly like the gleaming stones or tiles on the footpath, and the bright light shining through the forms of the pedestrians further back. The busker is superbly placed in the picture. Good work.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Gerard. Very moody with that fantastic black and white contrast. Nice perspective down the street. Look forward to seeing more. Chris
