The good...the bad & the ugly

You be the judge who's who...Here we have a candid street scene from a recent event.Let me put it this way...The predator was NOT looking at me. What are you thinking?

This was a point, shoot full auto mode capture.Thanks.

As a people study I think the image has too much depth of field, it is too contrasty and there is too much empty frame space above their heads and not enough of their bodies in frame. Plus the whole thing seems to be tilted quite a bit.

Full auto mode probably wasn't the way to go.

I would crop more too, but I like it! Seem's to me she is saying, "We are leaving" and of course he is thinking about it :lol: Was this a biker event? The woman in the background has a "Lady Harley" tat.

Thanks GB1- I have learned much from this shot critique.I appreciate that.

Lori- Thanks! Good eye. It's all about the timing! Yes,a biker event,this scene happened in the blink of an eye.The "couple" they are 2 strangers passing. I had just walked out of a real saloon( Poker run, stop # 3)Hollister Motorcycle Rally 2008) I...saw this girl(you know the one).
Just like that,I clicked with the camera hanging from my neck.

Wow,traffic stood still, bikes were stopping, that's what happened .She certainly had a presence. Thanks for your comments.

Oh fun! I do like the shot a lot. Bet you had a great time too!

There's definitely some interesting conflict or energy in the shot, no denying that. The background and exposure are distractions, but with these type shots, you don't have but a second or two to shoot them, so nice job in getting it.
