Reply #2: The feeling is different. [View All]

The blind beggar looks out of place and the men kind of looking at him only reinforce that. Plus even thought he beggar is looking straight toward the camera there is no eye contact. (of course) There is some real eye contact between the guy in yours and you. Hard to control I know. It also took me really looking to see the man in yours was selling something. Your is a great environmental portrait of the man in the wheel chair. The blind beggar is as much if not more a portrait of the environment. Did the instructor give you any detail on why she was not impressed? Seems an explanation of what she sees is missing and wrong about it is the least you should get. :shrug: Why wouldn't you be sensitive. It is your photo and well there is a connection there that I (and the instructor) am missing.



I hate trying to critique since in the end it is an opinion and we know how opinions are.
