He asked what I was doing and I told him truthfully. He answered OK fine have a nice day. Fujifilm XPro2, 23mm lens, ISO 1600, 1/550, f/16. Processed in Luminar AI.

I like the composition of the image and how the subject matter comes together. The sign of the museum and the manager leaving come together as well. I also see a sense of Americana in this image, which comes from the building. Posted: 01/13/2022 07:41:26
Hi Chuck, I like the composition, it is centered but it works well for this image. I think the exposure is handled well and I like that you darkened the sky a little. At first I did not like the red truck but after consideration I think it is a valuable part of the image. Posted: 01/18/2022 16:13:24

It seems to give the old guy a destination. Posted: 01/19/2022 08:43:47

Architectural design is perfect for this museum. Good choice for subject and good timing to capture activity. Lighting matches the atmosphere and snow on roof, The cutoff of the upper left roof makes me want to see the whole building. Did you try removing the power cable in top center?

Due to the architecture of the building and the pick-up truck this image has an interesting Western feel. In my opinion street photography is about humanity, a person or people going about their daily routine, which could be either mundane or something unusual. Either way, in my opinion, a person or people should be the main focus of street photography. I think by cropping in and focusing more on the person in the image makes it a stronger street photograph. I have attached a version to consider. Of course this is open to discussion.
