Hypnotized

I took this one at the Boston New England aquarium. Its not technically perfect but the image has always had some kind of a street photography vibe to me. Would you categorize it as street photography?

This is a tough shot to pull off. Not a lot of light at an aquarium which really does not give the photographer a lot of good choices; softness through camera motion due to too low of a shutter speed or softness because the depth of field is not deep enough because one can't stop down the aperture far enough. I would be tempted to crop the top a bit because all that gray wall does not add anything to the image.

I can see why you like it. I would consider it "street photography" as that genre is not particularly well named. Any definition of street photography I have seen suggests it is candid photography in a public place, so I feel it fits the genre quite nicely.

Thanks for your reply. I considered at one time converting it to B/W.

Nice lighting but the crop or simulated crop is a bit severe.

Thanks for looking. It is indeed an aggressive crop. There were some unwanted objects there that interfered with the look I was after in PP.
