The Collective Eye No. 6

In this weeks image, the photographer in Vietnam noticed an interesting street scene of a woman on a bench with one sandal removed.

The following comments are direct quotes from our community, shared exactly as they were written. We're publishing them as a way of showing the range of honest, thoughtful feedback this image received, not as a final verdict, but as a real conversation between photographers looking closely at the same frame.

“I like the texture on the wall as well. The feeling I get is a bit distant from the subject so I agree that getting a little closer or cropping in would be nice. The telephone wire seems a little distracting so getting closer would help with that as well.”

“Love the quality of the light and composition. The only suggestion would be to do a second version cropped in closer to show the woman and foot more clearly. A very successful shot!”

“I like the texture of the wall and the blank space on the left. It counterbalances the ‘action’ happening on the right but it still has texture of the wooden door and the grime on the wall that pops out The way the tree splits the two parts of the photo is nice composition.”
