    Candid portrait.

    This was one of the first of 157 shots I took at the Seattle Folklife Festival today.
    Not a lot for many of you, but its the most I've ever taken in one day.
    This was one of the first, taken before the crowds showed up.
    I bumped the shadows a wee bit, cropped it, and cloned a garbage can out.

    Pretty good, I can see the cloning artefacts in the top left corner I think.
    I wonder if a little crop form the bottom to remove the end of the bench might improve it, do you find that light line distracting?

    The guy looks none too happy about having his picture taken. I noticed what looks to be cloning artifacts along the left side of the shot rather than the top left corner, but other than that, I think this is a pretty good one. Nice exposure and framing. I'm not bothered by the bench so much, although it's a matter of personal taste.

    Re: Candid portrait.

    The cloning is on the left side, the grass just above the plant. I'm getting better at cloning but have a long way to go. Should have cloned that girl in front of his hat, too.
    I couldn't decide about the rail, myself, so left it in.
    Thanx for the comments.
