Hi Frank, You've an interesting subject here, and the wall, with its graffiti and markings could, along with the phone booths (they're not booths, really, but what ARE they called), could have made a great photo without the guy in there. That's not to say the pic with the guy in it couldn't be a good photo, just pointing out that there may be more there.
The composition (framing, cropping) is really bad on this one. First there's that intrusive element in the lower left corner, and then there's that blur-like darkness on the right side of the image. Neither of those things adds one whit to the photo, which, by their removal, would improve the image substantially. Then we come to the angles, and the way it was shot. I think someone else commented on that. The guy and the booths in the center might work if the photo weren't shot at an angle, if it were shot head on. As it is now the pic looks like an afterthought, a quick grab as you walked past the scene, without giving composition and the elements much thought. Slow down, Frank. Take time to really look thru the finder, look at the corners, all around the frame, especially the edges, for that's usually where one finds many distracting elements. Many of your photos look like they were shot in haste - in fact, you've mentioned more than once that you need to slow down, shoot more frames, etc. Well, just my two cents, Canadian. Probably not worth much more than that. Shel
