About the Image(s)
Finally got out to Nashville to see the grandkids last week and had a great opportunity to meet up with a friend for a photo walk through the honk-tonk part of town. I spied these two ladies trying on hats at one of the stores on Broadway & couldn’t resist the opportunity to hang out and fire off a few shots. I guess the one who’s looking at me felt my presence and turned around at just the right moment. I think the expression the face of the lady trying on the hat is priceless. The reflections create a secondary and juxtaposed story. Yeah, sometimes I’d rather be lucky than good.

The neon signs in the store and the reflections of street lights in the window contrasting with the dark entire of the store work nicely together, the contrast pulling my attention in that directions. Cropping of the left and top brought me right in to your main subjects.
For me, the brightness of the pavement on the lower right unbalances the image and draws my attention away for your main elements, I would try darkening that and other large bright areas a bit. I think a tighter crop on the bottom and right would eliminate that distracting white bell shaped area on the bottom right of the image. Cropping on the right in my opinion would add to the tension of the counterpoint of the man holding the sign. However, that sponge on the left of the table would have to be desaturated some to avoid it becoming a distraction.
For me, an intriguing image.   Posted: 06/04/2021 16:36:18
