 Photographer’s Notes
On a Florence Italy street, this woman and her child rode by on a bike. I loved the similarity of their hair.
I have been working on my candids, trying to optimize ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperature to maximize my take. Feel like I'm getting better.

Hi from the Critique Club,

I looked at this picture several times during the challenge, and finally settled on the middle of the road.

Technically this is a nice picture, I am not sure I like the angle but thats just my taste. The lightning is decent and the picture is sharp enough.

I think the subject is a little centered for the challenge.

I think the subject lacks the wow factor that we all look for. Maybe a different angle or crop might change the whole look of this shot.

Your portfolio speaks volumes about your photographic abilities and as you said in your comments you are working on candids and this is a nice start.

Best of luck.

Karen

The image color seems a bit too cold, to me.
