Newspaper, escalator, train and feet...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Newspaper, escalator, train and feet...

I had a bit of time to kill in the city the other day so I thought I'd get some shooting in. It's been a while so I'm not sure is they're any good or not. I think I may have lost my touch a bit :(

Any comments or crits would be greatly appreciated (the harsher the better!!)

I love #1. Great lighting and tells a nice story of a couple obviously together for ever but each lost in their own little world while they have a cuppa.

#1 is cool, looks good in b&w.

#2 looks a bit blurry for my liking.

#3 could do with some creative PP to spruce it up perhaps? Not syre what though.

#4 is great, and my fave. Like the perspective and the conversion. I also wouldn't have the balls take a shot like this with people around me :)

Anyway, just my 2 cents...

Cheers.

Cheers for all the feedback,
Phepsi, I've been trying to think about how to spruce that shot up, I'll have to have a bit more of a play with it. I don't find it scary taking shots of random people, I did all these shots with my 17-55mm f/2.8, everyone is just too polite to say anything!

Olrac, I love that escalator shot of urs, let me know if you do compile a set as I'm a sucker for them too:
