Washington Square Fountain

[davis.aaron]

Good morning, I am not usually a people photographer, but was at the fountain in Washington Square Park in NYC the other day and snapped this photo. All thoughts, criticisms and anything else is greatly appreciated



Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/450)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 36 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/100 EV
Point and Shoot settings....i did nothing

I find the background of the two lounging parents to be very distracting, but as I dont know how to do any post work I just left it

aaron,

Nice capture of "Children at deep thought/lost in their world". You did better work here taking the shot at thier eye level.

Shot seems bit tightly cropped on left and to the top. Would be more interesting if sharp focus on the child playing with water and the other in soft focus.

I think it is a fairly good shot, but because of the cropping and focus issues mentioned previously I think that the shot resembles too much of a snapshot. Nice idea, and keep up the good work, but nothing really jumps out of the photograph.

Thanks for the advice! When I get home tonight I'll try and take some of your pointers into consideration and make this shot a little better.

I only have Picasa so I cant do too many fancy things
