Never mind the width, feel the quality dear.

Confess I thought this as soon as I saw what was happening. Had someone stood in front of them and prayed that they'd still be discussing the coat when the person moved.

I've come to the conclusion that the next time I go to anything like this, I'm going to be cheeky and ask if people would mind posing shots that I've missed because people where in the way. I'm still kicking myself over more than a couple of shots that I could have took, but missed. But then, maybe we're not supposed to always get what we want.


Ps, Have I titled it right?

Re: Never mind the width, feel the quality dear.

love the photo, love the content , the B&W works well, but its a tad too strong as the effect of being OOF on the feet doesn't look right, in fact the lady in the middle looks like shes floating

I'm going to be cheeky and ask if people would mind posing shots

but don't you think this spoils them also ? I love natural looking street photos and this is right up there with them

Thanks Tigger for the feedback.. do you know I've just been looking at this thinking the feet need work.... now thinking about painting in the fore ground a little with a soft edge brush at 50% transparency... when I can see straight (tired at the mo) I'm definitely going to have another shot at doing this one.

Watch this space.



And yes.. on the couple of occasions that I asked someone to pose, I got the bright grin, deer in the headlights look. :smile

Its a lovely picture Di.

I have to say when I first looked and when I zoom in, it actually looks like the one on the right is scratching the back of the head of a small puppy dog, and you can see a nose and two little eyes peering out and its left ear...I must be going mad.

Nice titlle- well chosen! A good cameo photo, very sharp and tells a story without words.

Reworked on the feet area. Hope that this looks better and they're not hovering above the ground.
