Union

[Variodical]

1. in what area is critique to be sought?
composition, lighting, exposure
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
show the union made by this couple as they run the noodle stall together.
their common bond is the bowl of noodles which both of them hold.
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
At a night market, sitting down at a table, trying to grab the moment which only lasts a second.
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture.
I like this picture as it took a lot of patience before I could capture this moment, but there are distracting elements, a pity that Icould not recompose in such a short time.

(cropped the photo, will post orig if requested)

It is spoil by the steam, and the angle of approach, otherwise, it is not bad.

Agreed. Same picture without steam is better.

Not too sure under such situation, a burst of 7 fps will work ?

without the caption, it looks like the seller passing the bowl to the buyer ....
Union seems a rather odd title then ??
Perhaps including the couple's facial expressions can get a better insight into the idea of union ??

Nice angle and nice picture though....
