Happy young lady. Canon SX60HS, got into the digital zoom area with no tripod

Street? A Street shot from JC ... is there no genre to be untouch? LOL

This appears a bit weak on the contrast on my monitor. I like the jacket swinging to the right, the scarf swinging to the left and her hair to the right. I'd take a little off the right and the top. All-in-all, (even though it is a bit soft), good job with the P&S.

I revisited the contrast, hard to do as I was zoomed all the way out and shooting through a window while drinking a wonderful cherry/orange tea with a flaky danish. As far as the framing, the left eye (her right) is right in the thirds crosshairs, is that OK to move it out of there? Thanks bud. Here is the revisit, please advise. Softness (watercolor effect) is caused by the digital zoom, no tripod, small sensor.

For me, better. I am a fan of Gestalt, in that vein I would crop so that only a portion of the traffic light is exposed to the viewer, making the viewers mentally complete the image.

Interesting, I see what you mean, not a collection of parts that distract from the original intent. Thanks. I trust this is better...

This guy stopped me in the middle of a photo shoot in downtown Portland to ask me if I would take his picture. I did, and he graciously thanked me and then just walked off.

I really really love your work, Phil. I now follow you.
