Crowd? One guy way in the background is not a crowd. She is singled out because she is pretty much alone. This seems to have missed the point of the challenge.
"Drop your fear of candids this week and single-out a *person in a crowd* as your source of composition. Use minimal depth-of-field to your advantage to help isolate your subject, and as always, be creative"
Lovely hair and setting.
The girl in the shot wasn't isolated from a crowd by minimal depth a field, and the manual blur added on the trash can throw this off-balance. Nice B&W levels. I would be interested to see this, without the added blur and a tighter crop with all or most of the trash can out of it. (5)
the shot is nice and I like the B & W and the soft focus...composition could do with a little crop in the top because her head is too close to the centre for me
