waiting for the bus

eskiho · Jul 5, 2005

i like the contrast b&w gave to the legs, shoes, and then the texture of the sidewalk alongside and the contrast with the cracks, the road, and the drain.

in this one i just like how it captured the moment. tired, coming home, waiting for the train.

waiting for the bus still. wanted to capture that everything is moving by so fast in, yet some things still stay still.

These photos are nicely done and packaged. They are part of a gendre of waiting photos. My opinion is that the foot photo is a little too neatand clean. I love the portrait and the way you cropped it. It's a very effective viw of the train station as well. The photo withthe moving traffic is very nicely done too.

Yea, it does look tidy, but thats what caught my eye. The way everything looked so clean in the frame

I like the last shot the best, I think the movement of the cars is fantastic and I think you got a good capture with the first. I know its a bit to neat but it still captures exactly what you wanted it to. The second picture looks odd to me. Your subject looks stoned or sedated. I would try another shot of that one. The crop you had on it worked perfectly despite the subject and the capture of the train's lights was a nice touch.

Yea, it was on the way home from a night of drinking, so thats understandable. Hah. Thats how she always looks though

It bothers me that her feet are cut off in picture #3.

eskiho · Jul 6, 2005

Yea.

I always do that, but it just catches my eye better without showing the feet, sidewalk and everything that detracts from what i'm trying to capture. But i know lots of people get distracted when its not.

hi eskiho. normally we would have asked you to edit your post down to one image or moved it to the photo gallery for not complying with critique gallery guidelines, but i just saw it and the post already contains some minor critiquing. therefore, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the guidelines when posting in the future. thanks!

if i haven't already done so, welcome to TPF!
