Hi Griddi,

I can see why the lower left corner has determined the framing on the left edge of the image, but I find the out of focus (ornate) stand/easel thing is too distracting.

That's an interesting view, could have been shot almost anywhere, very 'international'.

Lots to keep us enthralled; for example, the woman apparently mid-way through removing her scarf

Well observed and shot, Dave

Nicely captured.

Griddi - I find that this shot almost works. I find the whole left side quite distracting and a small crop cleans things up and uses the display shelf to lead our eyes straight to the subject. I'd also probably make a small tweak to the black point and white point as well.

I used a standard (on this side of the Atlantic) 8 x 10 size crop.

Nice shot, Griddi. We see this scene so often - a student sits down and reads the book for a half hour or so, then puts it back on the shelf and walks out, having gleaned the information s/he needs.

Hi Griddi,

Terrific image.
I guess this is what they say " a picture is worth a thousand words...."

Dave, thank you....I agree with you about the the out of focus shelf, but if you scroll further down, you will see that Manfred has kindly fixed the photo,, and it looks so much better now........

Manfred, thank you very much to show me how the photo could be much better....thank you for taking out the time to crop etc.

I like the photo as it is now very much, and I am happy about it.......also I have learned a bit more,,so next time I will (hopefully ) trying out more cropping, or perhaps a different angle.........

Thanks again,

Greg.......I agree completely with you, one see this so very often, perhaps not if it is a small bookstore, but this one was the largest in Adelaide .......
Thank you for looking and comment.......

A thought provoking picture Griddi. My curiosity was aroused by the strange footwear of the reader - more suitable for a hike than the bookstore.

An interesting slice of life but that's what street (bookshop) photography is all about. +1 to Manfred's crop though.

I liked it, it's cool, Griddi.. As a big fan of literature, I often visit similar threads on forums, collect useful recommendations from authors and readers from all over the world, recently found a cool source that I will now recommend to you, this website contains a large collection of literary analytics on “The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Poe, which interested me very much, I first studied these short and very interesting posts with an analysis of various points of this story, and then studied in the full story, which I advise you to do, if you are looking for something to do this evening or over the weekend.
