From the Critique Club:
This is certainly a waiting shot. It has perhaps a little too much subject noise, not digital noise. The bottom of the picture is perfect, the top breaks up the cohesive effect. I would have entreated the guy to lower his hand to catch just the hand feeding. But that is another picture!
The major fault with general public shooting is that since we have no control of the environment, we tend to want to get it over with and later realise that our focal point has been robbed by pedestrians activity. Such shooting requires a lot of more patience, but if you stick with it you will always find someone who is willing to help and cooperate. Always try to imagine the shot you want to bring back and shoot, shoot, shoot.
Despite all the above, the shot has an entertaining feel because it imparts a general good feeling. The seals stand out nicely against the nice warm rosette wall. Always be on the alert when sharpenning dark objects against a light background and observe the edges. Try to minimize the halo.
The image did bring a smile to my face and it did to many others with a score of 5.07. Go and outdo yourself on the next shoot. dan |

| appropriate both the animals and the people are waiting. The seals make a nice composition against the verticle lines of the rail. It would be better if there were only the two people as the others in background pull your eye away a bit. Good exposure for subject. |

| Who's the one waiting for lunch here? The big guy looks like he may eat that food! This photo looks like a regular snapshot with not much thought into it (just my humble opinion). It just doesn't really convey "Waiting" to me (even with your title - and I tend to ignore titles and look for the concept to be conveyed directly by the photo). |
