Gianfranco ... These are both nice snaps, but they say nothing about the man being a shoeshine. They show a fellow on the street with an interesting expression set off against a nice, inoffensive background.
Had you not titled this as "Shoeshine" or told us about what this man does to earn his living, I think the image may have been stronger. As it is, I keep wanting to see more. I want to see him at work; I want to see his hands; I want to see him relaxing by his stand; what does his stand look like? IOW, you opened the door to this mans life but you've not let us in. For me, it's frustrating. shel Gianfranco Irlanda wrote: > > Dag T <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I like this one, the look and light on his face and the > balance between > > where he looks and the light parts of the background works for > me. > > Thanks, Dag. > Anyway, take a look at the other one (which I prefer - none of > them is a great picture per se, but this one works better for > me) and tell me what you think, please: > http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2147635 > > > Reminds me of Naples, except that the real thing is more > chaotic... > > How true, although chaotic sounds like an understatement...
