I like the fact that the solitary umberella wielder is also facing the opposite way from his fellows, though compositionally it's a great pity that the man behind him is by far the most eye-catchingly dressed, making it tricky to isolate the little chap visually. had this been my shot, I'm not certain I'd have entered it - or I might have done, expecting no great result - I think that's mostly because of the confusion of impacts around the umberella man: the darkness of him, the creeping of the shape of the umberella into the shape of the hillside, the massive pull to image left of the gaze of the other guys, all make it a conscious effort to keep one's eyes on that sole individual, and weaken the ipact of the image. You get points though for black and white, and for having I think pushed yourself towards at least an interesting idea. |
