About the Image(s)
This photo was shot in Rome just outside our hotel room. I like to think of it as a snapshot because it was so unplanned. You step out your hotel door and there it is!
It’s not the perfect image in my mind chiefly because the principals are located on the wrong side of the photo and too close to the edge. But I like it because everyone is so engaged in deciding where and what to eat and the waiter is so keenly interested in getting them to come to his restaurant. I like the color and the view further down the street. I’m undecided whether there is too much non-story on the right side and it should be cropped some? What do you think?
This round’s discussion is now closed!

It's a pity a little of the shoes is chopped off, but often street scenes don't wait for us to delay, so imperfection is quite acceptable to me. As a result, I wouldn't crop it. I'm glad you kept it in colour, a routine conversion to mono would have lost the great colour in the cabinet.
I would however clone out the red sign, and maybe even the lady in the red dress, if you don't object on principle.
I wish I'd taken it.   Posted: 05/06/2021 17:16:08
I wished that the the bottom edge is a little lower to show the whole legs and shoes, however, that does not change that the photo is excellent.   Posted: 05/20/2021 11:32:35
