Title: Manny, Moe and Jane

At a local arts festival. I had to use a longer lens simply because of the large masses of crowds made it almost impossible to get right up on a group like this.

IMO, nice try, but having all 3 people's faces turned away really ruins it. Isn't it the faces of people that we are interested in?

In this case I'd say it's the bellies!

Chris, if you're gonna do street you gotta get rid of that long lens and pop a 50 on the camera. And yes, in most, but not all cases you need to see people's faces. About the only time that's not true is if the picture shows you what they're looking at.
