My first ever attempt to make a nice picture.

This was taken in the metro today. I tried a few shots, playing with colors. It was taken handheld. I like the bluriness. Do you like the composition? Thanks for your replies.

I like hte compostion, infact i love it...but i'm not a fan of the blurryness, but it is in the eye of the beholder as they say.

Well, thanks! I guess I'll learn to "not like" blurryness as I'm learning photography! Haha! I'll probably change my name to ClearHead some day.

Your comment is appreciated! I'll try to use a stand next time. I love that metro corridor and everytime I went there, I always thought it could make a nice pic, because there's always a musician playing there. The position of the guy was perfect, but there were always a lot of people. It was a one shot.

I'm not a big photoshop fan, even though I know quite a bit in photoshop. I mainly use it to crop. The colors you see are straight from the cam with some neon color setting. I still have so much to learn.

Good composition, & I LOVE blurs (check some of my posted pics), but I don't think it works here. I want to see something in focus.
Keep experimenting, though. It's how we learn.

Here's a less interesting picture that I discarded because of the color. I photoshopped it a bit, even if I wanna do the less photoshopping possible to learn how to get great pics straight out of my camera.

The guy is in a less "cool" postion, but the overall pic is clearer. I think it misses something to balance the picture, like someone walking towards the doors, on the left side of the pic, much bigger than the musician. I dont like the result, because I want to achieve balance between sizes and blurs/sharps. It's slightly tilt to the left.
