Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the picture in the background is a little too prominent.

Technically this is ok. Composition is good although the camera does feel a tad cramped in the frame. It also feels like it is on a lean. There is good separation of the subject from the background but I feel the dark of the mans jacket in the picture is quite an attention grabber. The low contrast is good as it seems to add to the "old time" feel.

Artistically This is again ok but it lacks any "wow". It is a good study of the camera and the picture in the background adds both context and interest to the overall scene.

In summary this is a nice shot and it scored what nice shots do - around a 6.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

Hi Kris, Nicely framed. I do see a spot just above vertical center and about 20% from the left. The colors are wonderful.

Nicely centered wih good bokeh! A rather good shot of a somewhat mundane subject.

My immediate reaction was "I want one!", but that's another story.

I like the way you've composed this, and I think the lower contrast suits the subject. My only minor problem is with the slightly darker area in the bottom left corner.
