Nice catch. I might have a tendency to do a top crop, but this works just as well, showing the taller building in the background. You caught the mood, and the facial expression well. I like the black and white for this image.   Posted: 09/14/2023 06:36:52

Thanks Wanda, I find cropping can be a challenge to find the right balance for the photo, but a good reminder to try different adjustments to see what looks best   Posted: 09/14/2023 09:40:14

I agree cropping might help, but the question is how much. I like the candid photo of the man but I would try lightening him up and slightly darkening the rest of the picture to make him stand out as the subject.   Posted: 09/14/2023 10:07:23

Thanks Kathy, I did some post processing to lighten the subject and darken the rest, but can always revisit that and go further   Posted: 09/14/2023 10:14:19
