		from mryong/Preecha (405) on May 31, 2012 9:16:12 PM CDT (0) Hi nice B&W work. I like the lighting, shadow , contrast. The photo have story to tell, the guy over the right busy with fishing is nice story. I will be tempted to give 2TU if just the angle moved to the right and shot slightly behind the fishing man let benches and their shadow as foreground while boats, bridge and sea as background. cheers Yong Reply  Show ratings

BUT, the problem for me is all the elements - men, benches, shadows, boats, water, bridge do not seem to come together and form a composition. My eye cannot settle down on one particular thing and then appreciate the rest. Instead it is bouncing around from one thing to the next. There is no flow into the frame. The key would be a better point of view and perhaps removing some items. The benches and their shadows on the cobblestone pavement can be a composition all by itself. In fact, there are probably several compositions you can make from this view. Reply  Show ratings
