Very cool street performer. Magnificent harp, but I'd have preferred it to be less center-middle.

HI Stanley, welcome to the Critique Zone!

It's an interesting take on the challenge. You are, of course, quite right about architecture but unfortunately you can't speak to the voters during voting! Still, it's a very attractive shot so that is what matters.

Technically, I am interested that with an aperture of f22, you still could not get the DOF to get the whole row of piles into focus. This is starting to move into refraction problems territory! I wonder if just capturing the whole of the front one might have been more effective? The lighting is great.

Artistically, it's fun btu it becomes a real personal question as to whether the tilted effect is interesting or unbalancing. I'm not sure.

This is such a personal choice photo that there isn't really much more I can say - I hope that it was of some interest!

Happy hunting,

Frank.

The bright reflection on the floor and the poster frame(?) is distracting...

Comment by HarveyG:
Good idea but execution seems hasty. Focus is just not crisp enough for a studio shot (for me). Composition is peculiar, it feels odd to me. I understand the empty house concept and last set of bags. Just the sugar/ashes urn and clock on the suitcase are odd as well.

Comment by EL-ROI:
I really don't get the set up on this... What is the empty poster frame for? And who puts a clock and a pot on their luggage when they are ready to go? It just doesn't make sense as a scene you would happen upon or to convey the message you are trying to convey.
