nice shot, regards

On a technical note its a bit overexposed so the whites are blown out - the legs and pavement in particular have lost all their detail. Its also lacking in tonal depth with no real blacks anywhere. Compositionally however I quite like it. And as a piece of social commentary it hits the spot.

thanks for the comments...alastair,this photo was uploaded without any editing done at all to it. this is how it looked when i took it and this one pic i thought i would leave as it is. some are better left untouched..i will edit it though for personal use though. thanks much! appreciate ur time to look at it

I love this shot as I favor raw, gritty, true life street photography. Your title is very fitting. It even makes me a bit sad knowing that in all the world, this guitar may be his one and only possession. I have to agree with the overexposure though. Yes, some things are best left undone, but with a great shot such as this, I think it is worth it to attempt to correct it in some editing program. It will do the photo so much justice. At any rate, I like the shot a lot.

thank you ciana...im glad the photo touched you as it did me and i am working ongetting a good editing program to edit the photo..thanks much ciana!

Ant,

I do love this 1 indeed. I hope you don't mind, but the forground was a bit to hot for me, so I touched this wonderful capture up a bit...

Darkend the whole photo, then I used the lasso tool to outline the hot spots and darkend it...

Well done indeed,

Martin

Ant,

Your most wecome and think nothing of it, as it only took 5 minutes of my time... If you had my tools you could be very dangerous my friend...

I bought my Son the Rebel XT with a battery grip, Lexar 2GB, 80X, Pro card and a Lowepro bag for Christmas. If you had that, I would have to hang up my camera, because you would blow everyone else away IMHO... Your a natural...

You should think about doing this for a living,

Martin


Anthony Marchan   {K:8979} 1/7/2006
thanks martin! i really appreciate your comments..they are very encouraging...unfortunaelty i cant afford a camera like that but i am happy though with my kodak easy share camera..its an amazing camera for half the price of a expensive nikon or canon..so i guess this will do for now...i love photography and will always post photos, but photography i know wouldnt fullfill me..im going though into ministry and social work, but photography will always be at the top of my list for hobbies..take care my friend

Hi Ant....

Me gusta mucho este estilo de fotografías que retrata le diario vivir de la ciudad, del barrio, esas pequeñas contradicciones de la vida.... Excelente toma....

Ahora quizás la técnica no es perfecta, sin ánimos de parecer experto, pero hay algunas cosas que me molestan.... como la sobre exposición en las zonas claras, la falta de definición y los negros, que parecen grices. Además parece que esta un poco desenfocada, pero no se si es por lo fugaz del momento o por las condiciones lúminicas....

En fin mi querido Ant, quizás a fin de año vaya a NY a vsitar a mi familia, a provecharé nuevamente de visitar la isla..... es increible.

Un gran abrazo.

C.

thank you claudio...thank you so much for your indepth comments and forigve me for not replying in spanish (cant write it that good) but i understood everyhing you wrote. i agree about the exposure...when i posted this shot i did not have photoshop to fix this so i couldnt fix it..i think i put up a better version of it though, and if i didnt yet i will...you will have a great time when you come to ny in the winter..bring the camera! cuidado y gracias por todo
Ant
