    beach waitress

    This old lady charged 1 dollar for the shots and wanted a guarantee that she could get our beer's and keep the empty bottles.I felt guilty about having a old woman going to and from the bar but she got good tips and seemed very happy.

    Re: beach waitress

    I'm trying to make up my mind whether I want to see that half-basket or not. There's a lot of character in her face. Nice capture.

    Nice B&W image. I like the compostion of the shot and also the way you capture her. Where were you?

    Love the comp of this one. I'm inclined to want to see more to the right of the photo just a bit. If there is more I'd also be inclined to straighten the horizon.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Thanks all for your opinion's it is good to hear them, and most of all for me to learn, I like to see what other photographers might have done different so i can apply that in to work and try improve on stuff i might have missed. I was in south east asia for 3 months last summer and got this shot in Na trang a coastal town in Vietnam.

    Re: beach waitress

    I like the portrait a LOT.

    Problem is that damned basket really takes my attention away from her, I think a crop is in order to get it out

    I disagree, my eye roams form her across the shadow to the basket, back along the skyline.
