Greetings from the Critique Club!

I try to make my cfritiques helpful, and in order to do so in this case I will have to be a little harsh.

This is basically just a snapshot, meaning a photo quickly shot withouut together without thought as to lighting, framing, composition etc. Exposure is adequate. There also seems to be a lack of any post-processing going on.

The big problem is, that the subjects' backs are to us, so we cannot see their faces and get an idea as to who they are as people. Especially as you say they are gypsies...well then, what in their faces would betray them as such to us? Is that Louis Vuitton bag real, or a fake? Many DPC members are North American and any Romany are in the larger metropolitan centres; as someone living in a small town I simply cannot relate to this image and looking at the votes, I don't think many others did either.

Feel free to PM me with any questions

Susan

the scaffolding and supports was now complete but the contractor knew if there were any more tremors it would collapse like a house of cards

Maybe I am missing something (entirely possible :)), but this photo does not move me. What's the story here, why did you choose to take this shot?
