Neighbours

I've been wanting to photograph my neighbourhood grocer for a while, because he is very nice and always greets me in the morning. This morning I was finally able to capture him in deep conversation with another neighbour.

I changed the picture for today after a discussion with @janmaki and @sabrinaromahn, who gave me some very good tipps. I normally don't like to change pictures but this version is much better :). Thank you @janmaki and @sabrinaromahn for your help! And thank you @pepitaliang and @josamz for your comments, which are unfortunately lost now :(. If you want, you can look at the alternate version under http://365project.org/jannaellen/365/2010-12-02 and tell me which one you like better.

what a lovely candid!

[Sabrina]

Great job, Janna!

[Jani M]

Looks really good, now the persons are the main focus. This is an interesting shot, I'd like to hear what they are talking about :) And the lady seems to be a character... love it!

[Miriam S]

Very nice sepia shot!

[alia_801]

Nice capture of the conversation :) The sepia works well.

[Cindy Muir]

Oh...I like this a lot, Janna!

[Karen Sylvia]

Nice capture. I like the processing you've done on it. It also looks like a nice market! LOL

[FaerieMoon]

Love this slice of life and excellent processing too

[Melissa]

Cool - nice to see all these street shots. They're really great!

[Muse]

In this version, the persons are the main subject, and not the fruits. I like it!

[Bill Dodsworth]

Thanks! It was fun comparing! I like this one.

[Nod]

Whoa...this is a cool street shot!

[Flamez]

very cool street shot !

[Dennis Dantic]

awesome candid street shot!

[Jessica Dowdy]

this is great! thank you for your kind comment!

[Hope Russell]

Lovely photo. The people seem to show their personalities in how they're interacting. The sepia is my favorite--classic for a classic moment

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great shot. I think I prefer this to your alternative with the SC x

[Lacy Kent]

This is great. I also enjoyed the the other one----both are great and tell a story. Gotta love that.

[Amy Hughes]

awesome candid shot!

[Bugik]

This is very well executed and thumbs up for the rule of Thirds.

[Lynn M. Watson]

I missed the first, but this is very charming! Wonderful edit!

[Lynn M. Watson]

Okay, now I've looked, and while I enjoy the vibrant color in the first version, the sepia works much better with this shot . . . it has a very nostalgic feel that the sepia seems suited for!

[Shannon Pitton]

I like this own better, it makes the conversation look more real. Great daily life shot.

[Carlita Edwardo]

wonderful social capture!

Thanks for the follow ... as you can tell I'm not able to follow back many as I am so extremely busy but I endeavour to catch up with some of my followers every now and then. CC to your hearts content and remember I'm quite from April 8 as I'll be away.
