Man on a Mission

kundalini

I would like to do more of this "street" photography, but have little experience. Not too much with B&W either. Your comments on how to improve are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

I like the conversion. Now, looking at the photo, I'm not certain what the conveyance is......a man taking out the garbage? Since his head is down and the ball cap covers the "what should be the focal point"..his face....the photo tells me nothing other than it's a snapshot of something happening at a moment in time in town.

Choose a subject, bring it out (him, her, them) and eliminate distractions.

I think you may also be focusing on the background.

Hmmm, okay, I can see what you are saying. However, I was trying to convey the juxtaposition of this worker while surrounded by affluence, thus leading to his demeanor. Thanks for your advice.

I went back to have a look at the original and you are absolutely correct. Thanks for commenting.
