Critique Please - Sleeping at LV Airport Photo

[bjtindle]

This pic was taken at Las Vegas International Airport around 6/11/04 while I was waiting for my flight. (Long story was driving, decided to fly to San Diego from Las Vegas.) I took this using my digital, Concorde Eye-Q Duo 2000. I have cropped it to remove some extra stuff along the sides and top of the photo. I hope you like it and it does well on the forum!!
Thanks!

Hi,
I would classify the shot as photojournalism. It describes the tiredness of the passengers and the randomness of the airport well.
All the best.

I'd say this is a very busy photo..
My eye follows every leg and head in the scene, not to mention the lines from the window.

I'd say a better way to get a photo of a sleeping traveler, would be to shoot him straight on, and fill the frame with him. Like a portarit of sorts..

By the way...

Thanks for the welcome! I thought it was a bit busy myself, part of the reason I tried to crop it. Straight on huh? Hehheh I felt funny taking the picture of him from the side. I will try to do that next time tho, see if I can get my nerve up.

No offense Yoyo, not quite sure how to take this? An observation only? Is it a critique?

Thanks,

Ok I will! Can I still post the picture of the lady in the airport who fell asleep with her mouth open???? (Couldn't resist even tho I would kill if someone did that to me!) Lots of stuff in that picture I am sure cuz she was across the room from me. I think it was taken in a more direct fashion too if I remember right! Thanks for the tips/comments.
