I like the light on the face and the pose. It was not posed and amazingly enough, the subject didn't see me.

Do you find it works or not?

I think it works prettl well - was it noisy or was she just really oblivious? :)

Nah - it was a group meeting and she was paying attention to the other direction, so she didn't realise I took the camera out.

I always judge a picture by how my eyes are drawn to it....

The first thing I noticed was that label on the cardboard box with the marker squiggle on it. It's a nice shot but I think there are too many background distractions that take your eye away from the subject.

Just my humble opinion.

good capture, pictures like this make me wonder if I've ever been the object of a candid shot. I can only image yes since I get stared at a lot in public, and all the tourists here already have their camera out.

I really like candid shots, especially taking them. Well, I take them at family gatherings. I like this one.

It's a nice shot but I think there are too many background distractions that take your eye away from the subject.

I have to agree with the above quote. I, too, think it has too many distracting elements in it. It's hard to notice the young lady when the eyes are drawn to so many other things such as the box, the book bag on the table, the stuff under her legs, and to a small degree the electrical box behind her head.

All of that aside, if you like the photo and the young lady likes the photo then it is a good photo!


Cheers,
LeBaron

I didn't really control the background

I think is better! During candid shots I find it difficult to control background too. ;) This why I have gotten so much better at cloning in PS. Actually, I have now started to do a better job of scanning the background in the viewfinder before snap the shot.

Nonetheless, I think your photo is better. I don't know how good you are with PS but maybe you could lighten the lady or darken the background to bring out more prominence in her. Just a suggestion!

Again, thanks for sharing.


Cheers,
LeBaron

Good move on the label cloning. The box was the first thing I saw when I opened the thread. Good capture otherwise. :)
