nice! i love the yellow tones and grainy feel of the picture, it feels cinematic, very elegant and rather stylish. it's just a great example of excellent composition, really. the other cab encroaching on our view really enhances the bustle and new yorkness of the scene - lot's of lovely elements. 9.
My eye goes straight to the blurry "walk" sign, because it's almost dead center and is the brightest element of the photo. If the background didn't have that focus point my eyes would be more inclined to focus on the girl. One thing that could be done to lighten up the lower right and bring more attention to the girl might be to brighten up the watch band? Oddly this is one of those photos that probably would have done better had it been shot 1 second later once you go through that intersection and got that walk sign out of the center.
I am going to bump my rating on this photo from my original score. It is better than average. I like the idea.. the timing was just a bit off..
I like this, but I think there were two ways that would have improved this image. 1) You could have exposed for light falling on her face & let the exterior get blown out. (I would probably convert to B&W for that option)or 2) Ask her to lean closer to the window so that the light on her face was closer to that on her forearm. The's a nice mood to this image. Overall, well done.
Wonderfully emotive. I like the feeling of peace this image has. The woman looks as though she's taking a simple moment out of the very busy world (very nicely captured in the soft focused background). I think the lighting is masterfully used here. The bright bustling outdoors versus the quiet shadowed world inside the car. The portion that really captures my eye is her forearm. Its got a very nice tone and smoothness and really draws the eye up into her shadowed face. I don't know how this will be received by DPC at large, but I think this is one of the more subtle and simply perfectly captured images I've seen in awhile - it exudes a sense of isolation from the outside world so nicely. Sure there are some slight areas of overly bright light in the background and the image could've been tilted slightly to the right to even out the horizontal line of the car door more, but I don't think this suffers from those nitpicks at all. This really drew me in and got me invested as a viewer, I hope others found the same things in it as I did. I'm bumping from a 7 to a 9 and adding a favorite.
I really like this one. The focus on the woman rather than the transport outside gives a calm feeling in the midst of all the activity surrounding her.
