I'm not sure how this fits in "Street" since it's not a particularly
urban theme, but it here it is:

No, I'm not going black and white on this.

    Art is in the eye of the beholder. But what gives you the right to call these folks ugly?

    While the street art for sale sure doesn't appeal to me, that's not to say that someone else might not go for it. That interpretation aside, I'm real surprised at you calling these people ugly. You may feel that way, Tony, but I think it best to avoid expressing that on the forum.

    I'll leave the critiquing of the photo's merits to others. I don't feel, however, that it is nearly as good as some of your other recent works.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Not trying to defend, yet maybe they were ugly verbally as he was shooting?

    As for the image I think you've done much stronger work.

    Uh... Oh... Tony stepped in something...eek7.gif

    More to the point, the image.

    I think it's too spaced out. This could be improved & tightened by shooting them on a 30 - 45 degree angle

    Other than the controversial title, I think the subject is a good choice and the result of a good eye

    What's the point of the picture other than that here are two people selling some crappy art? You can find that on a dozen street corners in nearly any large town.

    Sure is a way to bring attention to an unsuccessful photograph.
