Very well done Daniel. I love the way you have a short DOF.

Thanks ! Picture taken with a 90/2,8, don't remember the
aperture used.

Makes the
ice cream jump off the image. The young lady isn't bad either. I would
burn down the white car a bit more.

Burn ?! I understand that the white car is disturbing the picture, but
don't want to correct it.

Life is life.

My eye keeps floating over to it
and it could be a greater distraction if it was in focus.

Sure.

Having the young lady to the left allowed you to have the ice cream
cones more on what some would say is a "power point" of the image. It
also allows space for the young lady to "move" to.

Right ! And the ice cream with a grey background, jump to the eyes

Again, very well done. Keep at it.

Thanks !

Correct, Life is Life. Burning the car to a softer contrast would have
not ruined the image but inhanced the subject. Changing the angle or
timing would have done more "harm" than reducing the brightness of the
white car. It is only my view of the image and I always bow to the
photographer who took the image as to how it should be. Such is life.
Knowing when to just enjoy the image and shut-up about it.

Keep shooting Daniel. You have improved greatly since I first saw your
work.

Impress yourself. Others may agree but, don't count as much.

It's hard to show in a different angle. I must go forward in the street
with cars... Impossible.

and
a shot 1 second later might have eliminated the distracting car.

I have shooted various pictures, 1 second later and you have
2 cars in the frame.

Street photography is not made in a studio, and can't be perfect.

BRAVO! I have to respect a person that holds their ground and posts
an "Is what it is" image. After all, it's a busy street on a sunny
day with cars and people on it. Changing the car's appearance would
change the whole mood of the picture. I vote to leave the image as
it is.

Thanks Rita

Yep! And lots of photographers forget this and the work they produce
show it when they display the typical boring run-of-the-mill Photo
Shop image. Unplanned events and mistakes are part of life so embrace
them.

It's what I think too.

Keep up the good work and enjoy every moment of photography. Good
luck.

Thanks

So, there's a tiny piece of attitude Rita and I sha

Where-found as-found photography has virtues that may outweigh even a
virtuoso technician's virtuosity.

Daniel can't retake the pic so no vote is needed.
The photo stands as posted .... a nice street scene.
My comments were directed toward his next photo of this type.
These are the things one should think about before tripping the
shutter.
