split second decision, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

that magic and excruciating split second you have to grab the shot before someone realizes your camera is pointed at them and the lovely and random spontaneity of the moment is lost...

I like your description of those few unposed moments, Kristin, and I like the result, showing that moment perfectly, with the one man just noticing your presence. I wonder what the reaction was here?

I do think the shot could stand just a tiny bit more contrast and sharpening to add a bit of definition.

Thanks,
Andrew

hi Kristin again

i like your way of taking snapshots in the street life, not so easy to take. Good framing, but sharpness could be improved: apparently the (auto I suppose) focusing was made on the statue stone just behind them.
Spend a good WE

Hello Kristin,
Totally agreed: you had only a split-sec. to grab this moment on camera. The outcome is a fine describtion of daily-life scenery. Unique and intriguing.
Let me also congratulate you coming on TE, keep posting, saw your gallery already, you have nicely done as for a start.
Cheers,
Ike

Hi Kristin,
I bet you had to be very quick with your camera. And you succeeded witha fine composition. Funny these Irokez on their head. But I am happy that my sons do not dress like this. it seems that the man noticed you.
Warm regrads
