    It's a Job

    Parking valet at P.F. Chang's in St. Louis.

    Thoughts?

    ptax,

    I like how the horse seems to be looking down on the valet, while he's looking down at his phone (?). It may be have been lost when reducing size, but it seems a little soft.

    I love this kind of candid shot. It appears the horse is trying to interact with the parking valet. Of course, the valet is totally oblivious to what's going on -- that's what makes it so funny. Other secondary elements in the composition (such as the speed limit sign) invite the eye to roam around in the photo. Focus looks fine on my screen. Well done.

    That is a fun catch and likely the best you could have done with what looks like very difficult natural lighting.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: It's a Job

    I appreciate the feedback. It was getting dark, and my tripod was in the car.

    I am just starting to get comfortable taking candid shots of people who I don't know. I am always worried I will make the subjects feel uncomfortable or suspicious.
