I really like this but there are a few errors. I feel the item in the lower right is a distraction and could have been cropped out. And feel the comments left before about rotation, position of subject etc... are right on the money. It would not take much to make this a great shot.

I like images like this, a slice of life... street photography. I do feel this image has changes that could be made for improvement. The camera tilt has no relevance IMHO, but can be leveled in Photoshop. Centering of the woman is maybe not a good choice in this situation as per good composition. The title of the image "Alone in the City" may relate better if there was no other people in the scene, like the two background people. The person on the left could be cropped out and the right border cropped to just to the right of the statue the woman is sitting on. This would eliminate both people and uncenter the woman placing her on the right ride of the image. I'm not too taken by the selective coloring of the woman. The B&W works wonderfully for the added mood of the image. If you feel the selective coloring is necessary, then to portray a mood of "aloneness", maybe a more earthy color, like a brown rather than a happier bright color such as the plum you chose??? Subjective, yeah I know. > TED
