Preaching Love in style, C&C Welcome

I never ever ever shoot people. This is only the second time I'm trying it out so please excuse my technique. Only sharing this cause the subject felt like worth sharing..

Should I edit out the red t-shirt guy? Would be difficult to get the shadow out, and cropping it so close didn't feel right.

Definitely not. The shot is perfect the way it is. The best of three, IMO.

Balance; the red balances the red text on the sign. Human interest; the preacher is being ignored. Space; you need the space in front of the walking preacher.

If you feel the need to edit anything, get rid of the boat poking the preacher in the back.

The other two shots are not that great.

I kind of like the second one too. As it is even more obvious he is being ignored..

Thanks guys, I am really glad you guys like it

TBH I thought these would go unnoticed..
The real reason I added the Pic #2 so that everyone understand what's written there. The other boards are written in a native language 'Hindi'.

I actually didn't even think in those terms earlier, specially the point about others ignoring him. It shows how much I've still got to learn.

Here, I edited as you suggested, and some more. Really appreciate your comment, and thanks for the kind words..
