    Man in the Window

    I am still trying to improve my street work so what do you think? Composition ok? Mood?

    I like the photo, the windows leave you guessing on what's inside.
    If the man was facing you my imagination could take me to a dark earie place.
    If you could access that room, I would be tempted to try it.

    Very good Greg.
    I like the different shapes and sizes of all the windows in such a small area and the man facing away from you works fine too.
    I do feel it may be a little bit too contrasty but that is not a great issue.

    Possibly the whole image. But it may be, as pointed out, the contrast is right up there.

    Re: Man in the Window

    Greg,

    I'm beginning to kinda like your 'street work'. You've posted some great shots. I like this one as well, but still like the shot of the 4 folks seated in front of the building better.

    I have no issue with the contrast. Is there any way you might bring the man in the window out a little more? I like that his back is towards the camera, but think it would give the photo's story a little boost if he were just a tad bit more prominent.

    nicely seen shapes and composition but i;m not too keen on the shot of the back of the chap's head. profile would have been great. still nice tho.

    Hi Greg,
    Beautiful shot and I like the framing but it's very dark from inside.
    I think colored picture will bring better results than black and white image.
