    I feel that this picture needs something else in it to give it some depth. Composition isn't my strongest area but for some reason the one looks flat. Something on the sidewalk or another person standing in the foreground turned sideways and looking at the camera.

    I think it is just a bit flat and maybe if the subject just took a step away from the wall?
    I do like that he is not centered between the words.

    Thanx for sharing.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Boston no.2

    Seb, I feel this shot needed to be from a few steps further back, or zoomed out. I feel as if seeing alot of negative space over his head or to the right would bring stronger impact from this. Also, i do not think it helps that the subject is looking at the camera, sort of seems set up. . .hmm maybe thats not it. . . . in a scene like this, where it really is all about the human subject here, the subject needs to be an interesting character to look at.Not that there is anything wrong with the person in the picture, but he looks too "normal" to capture my attention and make an impact here. Just my thoughts
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Thanks guys,

    It's ain't an easy one because it just works for me but I'll have to look further into it given your unanimity on the lack of impact.

    regards
