    Not bad....

    I commend you for stepping out of your comofort zone with your photography, people photography isn't all that diffcult..
    This isn't a bad image at all. I like the spontaneity of it, something that I think makes for a good people shot.
    Keep it up! I hope you continue to shoot people.

    I think you have something

    Young, I'd say you have the perfect knack for people photography! It's hard to judge from one pic but I see a lot of potential here. The black and white, expression, posing, etc work for me as a beginning shot. I'd continue to shoot people and just be patient with the process!

    I think you did good. This has a feel to it and you framed this great. I would not change anything here. It is as it is and it's good as it is. Nice one.

    Hi Young Shooter,
    The subjects have a lot potential. Regarding this shot, I think the metal frame does not help to strengthen the image and it is somehow irrelevant. Try to use the frame to reinforce the whole image. Lookiing forward to your people shots
    All th best.

    posed but unposed

    Although it's obviously posed it has a very inpromptu very comfortable feel to it....I don't know this guy but you get a feel for who he really is...you have a good eye for people shots and would like to see you try some more...use that lovely chickie of yours to take a few or even your grandma...

    I really like the "flava" you bring to this site...keep posting ans shooting
