well.. got the old camera out with the 75-300 during lunch time.

was initially shooting into the light, then i spun around to have a look and saw this old fella and couldnt resist with the light and the natural frame of the bus.

these are two different shots.. not a crop

which do you prefer?
which is more emotional for you or which do you find more interesting?
why?

in particular i would like comments about the framing..

i like both to be honest..

Can only see one picture, I think the 1st one is set as private on flickr.

So at the moment, 2nd picture wins hands down.

#1
I like the simplicity and balance of the shot - nice work!

[Henry Wilt]

I like them both. I like the composition of the 2nd shot with the other character in silhouette but I will go for the 1st one as I think the marks and reflections on the window on the 2nd one detract from it a little. (It's strange as I didn't really notice them until I saw the 1st picture)

I would say #1 wins. When I look at it, my mind begins to have so many questions. But the second one doesn't do that. I love a shot that pulls me in. The first one definitely grabs my attention. Very nice capture.

[candleman]

thanks guys.. interesting comments.
will ponder them over

[andbaggio]

i would say the first one... it's focused more on the old man... very nice shot

[avishek24]

I think since your main subject is the old gentleman and the first one concentrates on him, I like the first one more... Great pic!

i like them both too, but 1. is the winner
