Human Factor

Ted Szukalski

This photograph was originally intended as an architectural shot. It took a while to compose and when I released the shutter the man on the left walked into the frame. Suddenly because of his blue shirt whole focus is taken away from this majestic building (Sydney Post Office) and points at him. Does it reduce the value of the photograph? Probably not, it adds an element of scale.

System

There are three "human factor" points in the pic (seated, the cart and the blue shirt). I only wish the man in the blue shirt was lower right to balance them out.

Nice shot.
