I do not shoot much street candid but I caught a moment the other day that might have merit. I was a little far away and my lens was a little short but I think with a crop it's OK. My struggle is with the crop, I would love to get the Krispy Kreme sign in but I just do not like the way it makes the picture look. Always looking for C&C.

    There are a couple problems with your crop, besides the sign, and the biggest one is that it looks as though he's giving her the doughnut. rolleyes1.gif Sometime our best intentions are stymied by the realities of the situation - where we are and the equipment we have. But...I'd suggest that this crop may at least get close to what you're trying to do.

    Thanks BD, you are correct it does look like the dough nut is going the wrong way. I just wish I had been in a better spot. Thanks for your input, I really enjoy reading your thoughts.

    That makes for an even better story...

    Both look like they were taken by a security camera. Get MUCH closer.
    If not now, when?
