    Nice one, Richard - just wish the white shirt wasn't quite so white. :-) But the composition, and the expression on the Woman In Black, are wonderful.

    Yeah, nice scene. I assume B.D. is referring to the dude in the white shirt in the background. It does stand out somewhat. Is it possible to dodge it a little? Just curious, it looks like the woman in black is selling / holding lottery tickets of some form. An unsolicited visitor?

    I was good with this capture, until B.D. pointed out Mr. Bright White rolleyes1.gifblbl.gif

    Yeah, that shirt is a bit distracting--especially after it has been pointed out. lol3.gif. OK, raw file to the rescue:

    That hand gesture could be interpreted as, uhhm, not so nice in Greece! ;))

    It's unfortunate about the super-Clorox shirt man, but at the same time, after the fix you posted, I really enjoy the layers in this image. A lot going on, and streamlined pretty well alongside the main subject of the women's conversation.

    His hair is still cloroxed... rolleyes1.gif

    Not sure if it better cropped on the right or if the line of heads adds to the shot... I like the three front subjects, though I wanted the hustler's eyes to show...

    Ya know after looking at both versions, I'm stil OK with version one.

    If for no other reason then Mr. White draws me into the image.

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't think I would want to lose Mr. Clorox altogether as he is placed on the main diagonal. I suppose I could dye his hair, but it probably doesn't matter much now that the shirt is under control.

    I agree with Ben, I like the original, somehow I feel it adds to the composition.

    Different set of eyes, different views.
    I too believe Mr. "Clorox" adds to the composition in general.
    As usual with my SPOV, very good job Richard.thumb.gif
    Note: (SPOV) Shallow point of view.
