    For some reason this looks like a painting and I don't mean that in a negative way.
    Composition is great as you caught the lady in just the right spot and its only too bad she isn't carrying a bow and arrow.
    Its a bit contrasty due to the light but you'll never get her there again when the light is better so it is what it is and I love it.
    Keep Shooting!

    I'm with Frog that the only thing keeping this from being fantastic is the too harsh light. The rider in the chair is in the perfect place in the frame.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    have you considered a 4/3 crop of just the face of the building and the lady? I don't think it is necessary to have any background in this photo, it is obviously of the lady and the archery store and not of the weeds on the right and the building on the left. I might take it to just within the outer trim of the building. Neat subject.

    Re: Motor-Trend

    Greg I like these old buildings. I would like to see what appears to be a big hoarding (Left of house) included in some way here as I don't feel the disabled lady's position in the frame does much for it. However had she been simply been sitting by the shop and even facing the camera (as if to say this is my home) it would be much better. But you can only work with what you have. lots of potential in this subject I feel.

    I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan

    I will give the square crop a look see. The large thing on the left is a billboard. I am not sure I could include it in the shot. Thanks for your help everyone. Much appreciated!!!!
