Hello! I found this piece in The Yard Collective’s Critique Box and I really liked it and thus thought I would share some opinions on this awesome piece.
Firstly, I love the crispness/detail of the shot and the nicely contrasted black and white tones – it’s not overcontrasted yet contrasted nicely enough to portray the emotions in the shot and create awesome atmosphere. I feel that the old man appears lonely (he is the only human in the shot) but is being accompanied by the pigeons. The fact that they are surrounding him makes the shot look even more amazing.
I also like the fact that you used the Rule of Thirds for the focal (pigeons + man) of the shot. It really makes me focus on the man and portray him as the center of attention of the pigeons. It wouldn’t have been the same if you had centered the man.
Lastly, I love the lighting of the shot and how the area around the man is bright while the other parts are darker. Helps with focus <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />
Anyway, it’s an awesome emotive street shot. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />
