I think this photo is very well captured. I would have used a black frame to contain the image more. I believe the white frame detracts from the light colored walkway they are standing on.
Kudo's in getting the red so nicely! It is sometimes difficult to get the red in the intention as would be seen in normal circumstance, and it tends to over power the shot. In this case it tends to draw my eye right in to the child and then up to the mother.
I love the looks on the faces. A very nice candid shot. Very good DOF. And the police car in the background speaks to the part of the title to me of "Inner City". A lot of police cars and cruisers are seen constantly patroling the inner city areas and it adds greatly to the caption.
All in all, a very good image and a beautiful candid. Great work!
I think this photo would have looked more like the challenge if the cigarete was not in it... also, there seems to be a lack of warmth between the subjects... no adoring looks... no holding hands.. but what do I know? good focus, great colors.. and that wee one is certainly dressed to withstand the cold... overall, good job
Pawdrix? I like the candidness of this and the DOF with the cars moving while the pair waits on the sidewalk. I'm not crazy about the yellowish color cast.
