Dulles airport layover girl
Sep 10, 2014 23:14:24 #
Was at the Washington DC airport picking up my Nephew who just got out of basic training when I happened to see this girl pounding on her keyboard. The pic does not show her intensity but I just had to have the pic anyway. Being in our capital, she probably had an important job and didn't have a moment to spare. Or she was just doing some shopping...

Probably a student, updating her Facebook profile before her flight! :)

So, don't you think that you should crop out the green approaching belly camera left?

Looks like a fine and hard earned belly to me. Set off nicely by the choice of green tee shirt.

While I like the intensity of the subject as she types away, I think this image suffers from both too much depth of field and too much background which add nothing to the shot, make the shot "busy" and tend to detract from the main subject.
I'd suggest cropping vertically behind the subject's chair which will elminate the distracting green-shirted fellow on the left, and remove the subject from the center of the frame and put her in a roughly thirds position, which is, in my opinion compositionally better. Additionally I would crop horizontally along the top just under the head of the man at the right side of the frame, to eliminate him as he currently pulls the viewer's eye away from the subject.
I hope these comments are helpful.

That is actually a hip and an elbow of my Daughter! I got the pic because it was 'fun' and not to make some kind of artsy photograph. Sometimes photography is just plain fun.

If you don't wish to have anyone give you constructive criticism, you might write that in your preamble to the shot.
I frankly don't see anything "fun" about this image, but merely a quick snapshot taken without much forethought.
But if you are going to become obviously hostile when people make suggestions, I for one won't bother commenting on your shots in future. I don't like, need or want the attitude.

GEEZE! I didn't know a simple snapshot would bring out the crabby people. Sorry I didn't have the vision to 'make it right'. I'll know better next time.
P.S. I'm no longer 'watching' this topic.
