>>3108256First and foremost, if you're taking a picture of a thing, anything all, unless you're doing it intentionally, make sure you don't cut it off at the edges of the frame. In this case, the lady's head got cut off at the top, and it looks bad, makes the frame feel claustrophobic.
Same applies for this
>>3108257Second, I'm not sure the theater behind the statue does it any favors. What is the subject matter of this picture? Because that statue is pretty, and the theater looks quaint and interesting, but you showed us too much of one, and not of the other if you wanted to send a message with both of them, and if you wanted to make a message about just one of them, then there's another subject in the frame that's ruining your message.
I would've liked to see maybe the front of the statue, with the run down theater behind it, some nice shot contrasting grandeur with decay.
>>3108257I like this one a lot more, it's got emotion, and the subject is clear and the frame is not cluttered. My biggest issue with this is that it feels like you didn't ask the man for permission to take a picture, which kind of sucks, but more importantly, robbed you of a good portrait. If you want to take pictures of people, the most important thing to show if you're taking pictures of their face, are the eyes. And here, the man's eyes are black, almost like some demon. It takes an otherwise pleasant picture and makes it feel unnerving. Try to ask for permission, next time, capture the eyes.
