    Sleepy

    Hi all,

    I'm testing my new 15mm lens and would like to have your valuable comments.

    Many thanks and happy new year,

    Re: Sleepy

    Hi,

    I quite like the colours in this photo - couldn't you have got the chap on the right to sleep as well? This would have made a much better picture.

    My feeling is that a tighter crop around the people sleeping people would give a better photo and also limit the amout of light from the windows of the bus

    hi,

    interesting composition,

    i agree with the tighter crop statement (just left hand side in my opinion, leaving the guy on the right where he is) and a slight realignment and it will be a nice image

    hows festival place these days roger?

    Hi Words and Roger,

    Is it better? I couldn't get him sleep because he is not our man. And I decided to get him in the picture as I see he looked nervious when I start holding my cam and thought this would be an interesting contrast with friends sleeping.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    i think you should leave the guy in (on the right) and chop the top of the head of "the sleeper" off, i would crop to the glassed
