Need a little cropping on the right, should have gotten the pillar out of the way (if i was hercules)


ummm.. yeah, your input would be fantastic!

I think you could have visually pushed the pillar away by using a shallower DOF...but as such it is not much distracting; but centering the thing gives it a bit static i feel; a bit angular view could be better i feel

unfortunately I only had my 18-55 and no other lenses... I was shooting at 5.6

I agree with panblue. I wouldn't touch the pillar on the right – the lower diagonal and the pillar add a nice measure of depth. If anything, I would add just a smidgen of space to the left, but I don't think that's really needed.

Hey--I photographed that guy's cousin on May 26 of this year!!! Notice how they both just stood in the corner? Notice how BOTH of them blankly looked straight ahead with their signs, begging for a 25 cent coin?

I think its a great shot, everything looks good, if i had one tiny suggestion, and it may be out of your control except shooting the same shot on a clearer day, would be the background, of course it has to be isolated from the subject, but a shot like this means the backdrop is an integral part of the scene and would possibly benefit from being a tad more colourful and clearer..just my opinion

I disagree. I like that the OP doesn't care about the same thing everyone else cares about - the reason that his subject exists in the first place. Makes for some contradiction and shows an artistic vision.

As i said, just my opinion, and possibly what i might have changed had i took the shot, but your right nobody should do something a particular way just because everybody else does, photography is always subjective once you get over the idea that there is a right or wrong way to take a photograph.
