ay-yi-yi. yeah, this is a candid opportunity, but how did you shoot it. this looks like a crop of something you shot from a mile away, under very bad conditions. i bet if you had approached him and talked with him a moment, you probably could have gotten a fantastic shot, as well as had a meaningful engagement with another human being. as is, i feel completely isolated from him, like i'm looking at an empty image full of potential.
(as a side note, when i'm out shooting around, i carry a case of water in the car, not just for me, but also to share with people like this. you never know who you're gonna meet or if you can help them, but, all the same, everybody gets thirsty...)
I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
Terribly out of focus and noisy, but an ok candid. Just not a top contendor for me though.
This would be excellent if not for the camera shakesoftness. Subject, composition, and toning are excellent but something like this needs to be in better focus.
