Seller and passing by

[patricklui]

Took this photo on a short trip at Melaka.

I actually waiting for the man on the left to walk closer and blur him out and focus on the man on the right and look in front of him not at me, but some how he notice me and look at me with that look, so i took the shoot before he move away or turn his face away.

Please C&C. Good or bad.

Looking at the shot, I immediately thought that it should have a tighter crop, but then the lady at left, taking a picture is an interesting subject too....
This shot also makes me wonder if the guy in the centre (Timberland T-Shirt) missed the steep slope of the pavement & stumbled ....
Nice shot, patricklui.

I think you should trust your first feeling Sahil. I too think it is a nice shot but would benefit from a tighter crop. Too much unnecessary information which causes distraction. On the right of the image you don't need the wall, with bags. We can see just from the man and his stall that he is selling stuff. Likewise the woman on the left with her camera is interesting.... which means that she distracts the viewer from the main subject, which is bad.

Conclusion
Yes a nice shot but would be even better if a bit tighter. Well done and keep shooting.

I think what dan said are rite, the women on the left really distracts the viewer.
