Yep, a person sitting inside a shop window (fish in a barrel), not doing anything interesting, with a sign indicating that she actually wants attention. Great capture. Oh yeah, also lots of dead space on the right with nothing at all happening.

Well when I saw it the sign was from some sort of protest the women was at and she is stopping to get some food, so I don't agree that it lacks interest. If the sign wasn't there the shot wouldn't have any story to it at all.

Though I do agree if the picture was taken closer and filled more of the frame with her and her sign, I think it would have been even better.

yeah like if he had gotten real close and tapped on the glass to provoke her into making an angry face then it would have been pretty cool, actually

These are all true things. It was from a protest in New York during the summer and I just developed the roll. It was a few blocks away from the protest. I liked the idea of a protestor sitting down for a cup of tea with such an angry sign. I liked the sign.

I probably should have gotten closer, that dead space is lovely, the color is lovely.

All good and true critiques.

No.

I only offer genuine critique, and not that often, although it is sometimes in a sarcastic tone.

Well it might be nice if people start giving more useful critiques and explain what could have been done to make it better instead of either saying something sucks in an off handed way or the "I love it man!" type replies.

If I just want to look at other goons images I can follow them on flickr or something.

Kind of on the nose and doesn't have anything to really put it over the top such as the shock value of the dead animals that inspired the current title or the spiteful acknowledgement of how lovely all these photos are that has inspired previous titles.

These titles go hard.

Get up a floor higher to isolate that foreground stoplight from the background, then wait for something more interesting to happen?

Do you need to regularly post photos to a thread to be able to contribute meaningfully?

If all you want is validation and reassurance that you are special, unique snowflake there are plenty of groups on flickr for that kind of thing.

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.
