All feedback appreciated.

Liban,

I like the picture but not the title, or I don't get the title from the picture, I getting more of a school trip or waiting for a bus feel from the pic.

other than that I like the tight grouping of the children a the front and the depth provided by the people meandering in the background.

I think you are too far away and there is no center of interest.

Hmmmm,

I like the composition of the road and the kids sitting on the sidewalk, but the photo lacks a focal point for me and I find myself getting lost in the background trying to understand what is happening in the photo.

Feel free to edit my artwork. I don't mind.

I have sort of decided you have too much going on in the frame. To me there appear to be several better pix inside the large one.

I like this picture, the composition of it is so cool. There is so much going on it really keeps you interested. I like the color also. very good picture.

I agree with readingr and MB1 --- they said everything that I was thinking.

And, maybe I'm just not running on all my cylinders today. :blush2:

My Best to You,
Penny

Thanks guys appreciate the feedback.

Roger, Yeah this is only a small slice, there was over a hundred thousand kids lining up the streets of Havana, waiting for a carivan of the leadership and survivors of the evolution, some odd 50 years ago, to drive through the city. I didn't know that there were that many kids there lol. I'm talking mile after mile of kids sitting on side walks. so that's where the title comes from. Yeah this one doesn't portray that too well.

Yeah many focal points and nothing stands out more than any other one.

Thanks for the crop suggestion. While the resulting photos are simpler and maybe stronger, I really hate cropping that much of a photo though. The resulting photographs are half the size of the original.

ty!!!

Liban,
I'm with Roger on this one, I don't think this photo conveys what the title suggests. Not really sure how to capture the "feeling" any better, but from what you describe, perhaps shooting down the street rather than across it might have given more of a sense of the throngs of people you describe in your follow-up post.

[LeeIs]

Thanks Jet.

Yeah, it doesn't capture that feeling too well. I haven't shot anything in a while and I'm going through all the stuff, I didn't think would be strong enough. So, yeah, I'm expecting lots of advice on how to make them better. And that's a good one. I shoulda took them from different angles and including a lot more people to truely convey the atmosphere.
