Photo critique Here is where you can display your images and seek the comment, advice and, maybe, constructive critique of your work. Only post your images here if you are happy for frank feedback. If in doubt, use the beginners board instead. Only post your comments here if you feel you can make a constructive and polite contribution in response to what is, for some, a leap of faith in exposing their work to your critical comment.

Re: London -People

I noticed these in your gallery.

Was the person in the green armchair just sitting there, or was he posing for you? I like it.

I thought what a good photograph the people walking over the bridge was. It is interesting that as far as I can see, everyone is walking at one side or the other - no-one in the centre. I like this one also.

The last one is well spotted and executed, but I don't like it because of the man with the gun (which of course is what it is all about). Now, it has my attention, so where and what was it? It looks like a bill board peeling off, but I can't understand it being over the windows. Was it an advertisement and if so what was it advertising?

You have really caught my interest there Josh!

Thanks for the comments. The person in the green chair was just sat there. I said morning (no response), so I indicated to my camera, (No response). So I took the shot and moved on quickly. Perhaps he was asleep?

Re the last one. It is actually a camcorder he is holding and is on the wall of the tate along with other peices of "ART". Here is a wider shot.

Thanks for showing that Josh. I still think the implication of a gun is there and I personally find it unsettling.

I have never been to the Tate Modern, but that would be on my list, should we get there again.

Re: London -People

My favourite of the sets show in this forum is No 2 of people walking on bridge! It could quite easily pass for an advertisement for some executive or yuppy product! I agree the camcorder/gun stance is a bit unsettling, but still makes a great photo! Thanks for sharing!
