This just goes to show how narrow the gap is between a nothing shot and an everything shot.

Not 100% sure what makes this firmly one of the latter. A combination of many things... the slightly rising angle of the line that leads the eye, the almost perfect spacing between the men and the fact that they are all looking towards you (or looking somewhere) rather than just looking at their phones.

Another thing: the variation in leg placement. If all the men were standing with their weight centered, like a row of clothespins stood on end, it'd be boring. Instead, most are leaning to one side or are otherwise asymmetrical. This variety is enhanced by their having dark pants that (mostly) show against the background.


PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | A FEW CORRECT SPELLINGS: lens, aperture, amateur, hobbyist, per se, raccoon, whoa | Comments welcome

Thank you very much for your constructive critique, much appreciated.

Here is the crop you suggested.

Actually, I like the original because I see the bored, disinterested (including the one with back turned) drivers on the left balancing the bored, disinterested drivers on the right. Only the drivers in the middle of the frame are looking at us.

There were lots of fabric shops in the area mixed in with pile it high garment shops that you had to rummage through. I think everything in this shop was one Euro. I think you had to be fairly determined to find anything worth buying though.
