Street Monk

[dan00001]

Today was the first time in a long time I've been out to photograph strangers, and as a bit of an introvert, asking strangers if I can take their photo doesn't come easy to me. I asked two people if I could take their portrait, and one obliged. I'm a little underwhelmed with the photo's I took, I felt rushed by my own anxieties to take the photo and get out of there. Critique is welcome.

Thank you for looking.

Thank you, I hope the post processing is ok, I really need to get a decent monitor so I can be confident the photo is what I want it to be.

This is very good Daniel. You've caught his character well.
Critique wise you may want to crop a little off the RHS.
Also, if you have the latest iteration of Lightroom you could select subject and increase the exposure on his face/head a little.

Interesting, The critique I had in a Facebook group was that there was no sense of his character. I'm not complaining, everyone's critique is welcome, I guess people perceive photos in different ways.

I agree, the face is a little underexposed. As for the crop, I quite like that older building with the blue canopies to the right, it looks a little less modern than the Lloyds bank sign. In fact, I've been tempted to remove the Lloyds bank sign.

Thank you.
