Yes, a truly interesting group shot.
Watch out for the metering, however. While the exposure is correct for its overall average brightness, the white woman stretching is too light because her skin is brighter than an average exposure, and the black people are too dark because their skin is darker than an average exposure. For a single unmanipulated shot, I suggest spot-metering the face of one of the black people. Here is an adjustment I made using "lighten shadows" and a bit of "darken highlights." The person under the cap needs more work to lighten just their face.   Posted: 09/02/2023 00:28:43

Hi Marianne, I agree with Stephen, this is an interesting shot. It seems anymore like people are in there own little world even when they are in a crowd. I think that Stephen's suggestion for adjusting the exposure is right on. I find that it is very difficult to get a whole scene exposed properly when there is such a range of brightness. Once again you have found a good subject.   Posted: 09/09/2023 11:27:01

Nice black and white photo. Everyone doing their own thing waiting for the light. I would also have difficulty exposing properly in this situation.   Posted: 09/14/2023 19:54:34

For me, Stephen Levitas nailed it with his image. Thanks, Stephen for participating in our group dialog.   Posted: 09/16/2023 15:10:32

Definitely "too cool for school". This picture looks like it came right out of a music video. Well spotted. I think Stephen's lightening effect works well. Thanks for sharing and for the tips on exposure. Your subject is really interesting.   Posted: 09/17/2023 04:38:56

Very interesting group shot. I love the expressions especially of the guy in the far right watching the woman in the crosswalk. I appreciate Stephen' suggestions on exposure.   Posted: 09/18/2023 13:37:18
