What's he drinking?

I dunno, if it had been in colour, I might have been able to answer the question

Oh wait, that was rhetorical, wasn't it? (as is this)


Seriously, if I'd shot this, I'd rotate it somewhat to get the railings more vertical, but I appreciate the genre may suggest this is perfectly fine as it is. (IOW YMMV)

However, I would do a little 'burn' of that bright area on the next bench along, at left edge of frame, and/or perhaps a vignette (playing with amount, shape and feathering for best result), which could also address the brightness of the seat and back of bench beside the woman over on the right hand side, although as she's bright, I find less a distraction.

That said, I'm being a pedant, the shot is all about the subjects and your good timing, what I suggest are piffling changes.

Cheers, Dave

He is drinking because everyone else is in a phone trance.

Thanks - it has a subtle vignette but I agree that the edges could do with some work. I'll have a look at that.

It's not Britain is it; they've got legs crossed and it looks warm. It's not Australia, where is it?

Insufficient discarded chewing gum to be the UK. The absence of aforementioned gum makes me think it's in Singapore. But it could be anywhere that has sugared drinks in small cans

Hah! It was Britain, it was warmish, and the clone brush took care of the fag butts and chewing gum. As for the leg-crossing - I didn't know that was non-British! I'm in Kent, it's practically France so we're a bit continental you know

The more I think about this photo, the more details there are to like. Thanks for sharing it!

I agree wholeheartedly with Dave. This picture is all about the subjects. Good fun.
