Boris, With your comments, I see what you were trying to work out in the 3rd photo. If you were a painter, I'd tell you to use the left side of the canvas too! Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 11:04 PM, Boris Liberman wrote: > On 9/9/2013 5:11 AM, Mark C wrote: >> >> Hi Boris - >> >> I lov

Boris - I agree with the others' comments. The Waitress is well shot (though I would prefer her to be a touch closer to the right edge). Etude seems too "crisp", over sharpened perhaps? Maybe just too much contrast in the scene? A nice enough composition, but maybe memorable only if you know tha

What he said. I think if the last shot had been closer/tighter it might have been more interesting. It just looks like random people. Most "street photography" focuses in on one or two people, even if others are around. HTH, Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 9/8/2013 6:31:22 A.M. Pacifi

Boris, I like the Waitress. You caught her in a good pose and nice background. Etude has a scramble of light/dark patches from the leaves/sunshine on the right which is distracting. I prefer the more even lighting in Street Scene, but can't find a compelling story with the image. See The Hague whi

Bulent, I have to respectfully correct you. The first shot (Waitress) is made with Nokton 40/1.4 at around f/2.0 or f/2.8. Hence the OOF rendering. The other two are made with Heliar 15/4.5. Thank you for your kind words. The third shot - I thought that play of light was kind of nice... At least t

Hi Boris, I liked the first two... The first for its power to separate the waitress from her surroundings (lovely background for a 15mm, by the way). The second for the cosiness and good composition. The third one needs something more (or, perhaps less) which I fail to put my finger on :( Bulent
