The Arrival @ budget terminal

Hi Folks,

Took this shot in Budget Terminal while waiting for my Auntie.
Learning BW shots and PP, so please kindly give your constructive C&C.



Cheers!

I find that the photo lacks emphasis.

Also, you might wanna make your watermark a little smaller.

Hi calebk, many thanks for the comments, just a newbie. Appreciate if you could please further elaborate on the emphasis in order to improve next time? Is it the title, composition, PP?

I just see lots of people facing away from the camera in a very grainy picture. Theres nothing really to draw attention or maintain interest. Don't mean to sound so negative but I think honesty is important when giving an opinion.

No problem Bro, it's always good to have insights of others in order to improve.

The composition is as titled, thus people are facing away together with the push carts, as waiting for ppl to arrive . As for the grainy picture...purposely did that as I shot this as B&W and looks plain if I will maintain the original texture as is. Many thanks again for viewing and comment

The noise seems bad. What ISO was it shot at?

Don't overdo it with grain. It tends to distract.

Also, to elaborate on what I said earlier, the photo lacks a main subject to catch your eye. As what nikonnewbie mentioned, all there is in the frame are many people with their backs towards you. While it does (somewhat) convey what you want it to, your audience (people like us) will find that they can't find a place for their eyes to focus on in a photo.

To be honest, the photo seems like something a person would take without a second thought. No offence.

Nice picture except point of interest is not strong.

Hi folks, yeah it is a PS Noise. Well, just experimenting in this B&W variation.
Anyway, really appreciated all your input and will surely take note of it.

Cheers!
