street scene, a photo from Beijing, North

Photographer's Note

in my travels to china i was in awe of how much commerce was done by bicycle. liked the window and the business man also in this image as they give a little background to this great bicycle.

Good shot! I think about the only other thing you could have asked for would have been a couple of Chinese typeface neon signs in the background ;-D

This picture is so raw, thus, very real. It is good that you added the man. It made the scene understandly Chinese. A little bit of light could have improved the quality of the picture a lot. But who can defy nature? Anyway, i still like it because of its honesty.

Nicely composed street scene, Lyn. I like how the man in the left contrasts with the still life on the right and provides a good balance. I'm glad he's there.

Wow, your shots are getting more and more like my cup of tea, Lyn...

Your subject speaks so much to me and there's a lot of content into your shot : I really really like the background fruits piling against the window, it's for me the 3rd essential interest point that makes truly excellent shots.

There's so much content that IMO you've been biased on your compo : I think the left part given to the man should more important as a too broad right side space unbalances the whole shot.
That's a pity to crop out the right part of the bike but I think it is needed in order to balance the masses in the compo.

I like the way you got that man on the left, it adds a nice human element. Though I think that the colours are all to similar and that makes it hard to focus on things. I would suggest trying this in b/w.
