See this is a good shot Charlie!! Congrats..
The voters nailed you because it isnt a portrait, but u know that now :))
But low votes do not neccesarily mean a shot is bad...I like it..a little edit and it would be great!

Typically I love street scenes.. but for portraits I look for more detail in the person who is the focus of the composition.. even if the fiddle were more detailed.. great idea though.. I do love environmental portraits.

Not a portrait (or subject too far) = 1

I feel the fiddler is a little lost with so many other people and the busy background - if he had been looking towards the camera it might have helped. Perhaps the shot here is from knee level where the group of people are on the left - looking up at the fiddler to catch his face with the case and money in the foreground?

An angle that showed the fiddle more clearly would have worked better for me. I like how it shows all the people going by and no one paying attention.

Focus is a little soft on your main subject here (the fiddler) and while I'm not a pro, this does not feel like a portrait to me.

I think this needs HUGELY more cropping IMO.

Man, it just doesn't fit my definition of a "portrait". Too far away, too many other distracting things to look at. If you didn't mention fiddler, I would have suspect I was suppose to look at the closest guy (the one on the right walking away). I would never have even noticed the fiddler (or figured out that he had an instrument in his hands).

I hope you get closer to the fiddler next time.

Not a portrait.
01/11/2007 11:29:20 AM
need to get closer so we can see him
01/11/2007 12:58:15 AM
I don't think this is a portrait.
01/11/2007 12:00:13 AM
maybe 30 feet closer?

from this far away I wouldn't really even know what you took a photo of if it wasn't for the title. Go talk to him, don't be scared! :-)

I think I would caracterize this as a candid street shot and not a portrait...
01/10/2007 04:02:37 PM
Without the title I would have no idea what this was a picture of. Not my idea of a portrait.
01/10/2007 02:11:39 PM
The fiddler is lost
01/10/2007 09:12:45 AM
Needs a much tighter crop IMO.
01/10/2007 02:13:05 AM
I find my eye wandering around the image vs. the main subject.
01/10/2007 01:25:46 AM
hardly a portrait
