Mexican Vienna Photo

Photographer’s Note

Plenty of buskers were out and about in Vienna, these Mexican dancers were one of the better ones however their constant insistence for the public to hand over coin was a bit off-putting for me.

not sure about this one Brendan... I like the girl's expression and the light on her but there is something disturbing me and I can express what is it exactly...

Nice shot Brendan;

Superb focus on the little kid. I like the man in the forground adding to the feel of action. Just read in your bio that your heading to my hometown of Vancouver next year? I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

All the best!

Hi Brendan, the scene is nice, well composed and the kid has a nice expression.

If I would have to critique an exhibit picture I would say that the light is a bit upside down, would have been better with the light on the face. If I critique a journalisticshot, then everything is ok for me...

Hi Brendan,

Why didn't you go entirely for the girl in this shot? Perhaps it has to do with their insistence to get every dime out of the audience... Pleasant light, pleasant face. Perhaps if it would be the other way around; 70% for the girl and 30% for the big guy we now see on the back.
But yes, still pleasant light and colours. Let me know why you went for this compo!

Greetings!
Dennis

Very nice POV at work here - perhaps the fact that the unfocused chap in the foreground is in shade accounts for the woeful lack of comments but I did it, Brendan. Nicely seen,
Francis
