Pinaki, good street scene. The kid with the white elongated balloon stands out in the image and becomes the center of attention. The image is sharp. Some judges may criticise the level of amputation of the shoes and legs. Perhaps an on purpose tighter crop is of relevance.   Posted: 03/09/2025 10:51:16

The picture is interesting and the expression on the girls face says it all. I agree with Isaac on the tighter crop, but the cropping of the in camera capture of the legs are not at a joint so should not impact the score if judged (based on my CAPA judges course, PSA may be different). The partial amputation of the green shoes may have a minor effect on the final score.   Posted: 03/12/2025 08:06:13

Pinaki - With all the people in the image you did a terrific job in focusing the viewer on the boy in the middle and the girl. The children are having a wonderful time with the bubbles while the rest of the crowd walks by or is otherwise engaged but ignoring the action. They all add to the story.

Pinaki-- I agree with Isaac's tighter crop. The dynamic angle of the arm holding the bubble-maker adds to the liveliness of the scene. Nice work.   Posted: 03/23/2025 16:07:31
