Do you think the composition would improve if you cropped the guy out? The pillar/wall that she is leaning against would make a good frame.
This photograph brings up a concern I have that I would appreciate some advice on.
It is well known that if you include any writing in a photograph, the viewer's eye will be drawn to it. This can work for and against the artist. In this photograph, the title of the book brings the eye to the main subject of the photograph, however, the writing on the bicycle draws the eye away.
Would it be a good idea to intentionally blur, or even remove, the writing on the bicycle since it does not add anything to the composition and can actually be a distraction.
My issue is that I have a personal philosophy about such street photography -- don't alter the image. What is in the scene is in the photograph. I tend to only use PP to improve the image, not alter it.
But is that always a good rule? Dunno
Wadda ya guys think?
