Waiting

Finally got into the main city near us today and had a go at some street photography. A bit late for my mentoring groups month on it which was in November!! I feel I must also apologise to Andy@candidzen for coping his style of bordering his street shots with a black border. I like the effect it has on his street images. Sorry! I'm not sure on the vingrette on here but cant now remove it and too tired to do it again so its staying put for today.
I like it, great shot

I love the lighting and the composition works really well with the railing leading up to the guy. I'm glad you agree that the black border is the way to go and it looks great here! fav

Waiting yes but I also think it shows solitude/ lonliness
December 13th, 2014  
Love the lines,angles and solitary figure :)

Good attempt, think you have some interesting lighting.
December 13th, 2014  
Interesting because of the man in there and the patterns the shadow make!

Nice gritty street shot!

Neat perspective, light, shadows

I'm never sure about using a vignette or not, I often like them on other people's pics and I think it looks good here too. I do like the border.

Love this shot, it really tells a story. Makes you wonder why he stopped. Maybe he got a bit puffed out climbing up the hill and had to stop for a rest.

, a private moment, stolen by the sneaky photographer, shared to the viewer. :D love it, its really cool, you have an eye for this sort of stuff, who is your favorite documentary photographer?

Cool shot. Great use of lines and empty space

@amyleewinfield thanks. I don't know to be honest! I stumble across things I like in magazines but don't know much about many professional photographers. Anyone you'd suggest?

Do like these space pics.

fab street shot, love the lonely guy in it!
December 14th, 2014  
Nice space, lines and light.

@newbank If you are really enjoying Documentary you need to check out magnum photos, this is kind of a hub for the worlds best, youl find a great collection of guys here. For a gander maybe Lee Friedlander and Trent Park, very different styles but wow!!

@amyleewinfield Ta. I shall a look at that.
December 14th, 2014  
Nice use of negative space!
December 14th, 2014  
@amyleewinfield what is "Documentary"?
December 14th, 2014  
Like all the lines and angles, they lead you to the person.
December 14th, 2014  
Nicely done, as others mentioned great leading lines
December 14th, 2014  
Wonderfully strong composition
December 14th, 2014  
Great shot that to me, evokes loneliness. Nice shapes created by shadows. Fav
