Street Photography high contrast

[DimiBrckov]

I was in the city today when two guys bumped me and when I looked up this was what i saw, I light how the light and shadows look.

Can you please let me know what you think about the shot and if there was something I could of done to make it look better.

you can have a look at the rest of the shots i took on my site Street Photography 15-05-12 | Dimi Brckov

Cool sense of perspective. Love the lighting especially. Really good shot mate!

I like what you captured, great lines all converging on the subject (two men)... I think it is a really good image as is...

I think this is a decent start but not finished.
The other pictures show that you haven't a good idea yet of where to go with street photography.

If you will allow editing, I cna express myself better.

IMO, virtually all street photography depends on the photographer making the viewer look at what he/she want them to and doing this by controlling the color (which is why so many are turned into B&W so that the colors don't pull the eye).

In this picture, the leading lines, pulls the viewer into the subjects well enough but the subjects are in the center and the entire right hand is essentially non-contributing.
By cropping, using the same aspect ratio, you increase the effect of the leading lines as they cross more of the image and remove that tension-leaking right side.

I don't care for the spread out coat of the subject because that starts to make me think of what he might be talking about when I would ratehr have him as an abstract of a person, just a the light and dark areas on the left are almost an abstract of the ceiling projected on the wall.

You don't need all the ceiling, just enough to show what is going on and not so much that it competes with the wall at the left.
Cropping concentrates the picture on the important parts and cuts off what isn't.

my 2 cents worth.
