A Passing Bus

I think she looks like how we all feel when we’re catching a bus like that. lol

I think you froze the face nicely and the rectangle crop works well for a shot like this. When I zoom in her  face does look a little soft. I wonder if you could also reduce the contrast on the reflection in the left window as it kind of pulls the eye away from the woman’s space on the right of the image.

I’m wondering if this is a cropped image, and if so… how much of the original was cropped out?… as there may be a more defining image in it.

I like the concept of the image, but the whole LH side of the image is a distraction for my eyes. I think mostly due to the handle in the middle of her face combined with the brightness/glare of the reflection.

I did try cropping out that half of the image, but the green side of the bus takes away/distracts from the bus rider’s face. With that said, I did find two (2) crops that worked for my eyes…

1. Cropping the LH side to just in front of the hands of the rider viewing her phone… AND… cropping up from the bottom so there is slightly more than a sliver of green showing. This overall view highlights the differences between the two (2) riders; or

2. cropping to the back window of the bus only so that the rear passenger is visible (at the edge of the black sides).

As for the softness… sometimes it can’t be avoided. However, post processing software can take care of that.
