1. in what area is critique to be sought?
Technical - Exposure, WB, settings
Composition - The story, What other angles could I have explored to bring my story across?
Post -processing - What can do to make it better?
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
This elderly man was quite out of place at Clarke Quay. And he kept sitting there and looking in random directions.
I wanted to capture a moment when he was just staring off at the distance oblivious to everything around him, seemingly lost in thought.
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
-Late afternoon @ Clarke Quay
-Soft ambient Light
-I was trying to capture the contemplative and purposeless waiting.
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
-I like it. I like that this shot manages to convey a little of what I wanted it to.
-I just think it looks like a rich situation where a more experienced photographer could frame it/take the shot better.
-If I had moved toward the railing and take a shot from along the railing, I could have captured the old man staring at the underpass that is located there. But I thought it would be too distracting.
