Shopfronts

There is so much to enjoy in this image. It's like a small play in one with each individual playing a role that makes up a beautiful complete scene. The girls on the left sharing a joke with the guest inside, The main man in the chair noticing the photographer and the expression on the mans face as he takes a glance at the lady walking past. In many ways this is a decisive moment with all the parts coming together to create one story. Stunning.

A simple but beautifully composed image. The sheer colour brings alive this photograph as does the careful composition. The frame includes everything needed and excludes things we don't need. The gesture on the sellers face next to all these wonderful puppets adds to the precision of the photograph. It is like we are looking into a theatre and we are the audience. Very well composed and a lovely image.

A great photograph goes beyond the brief set. The photographer has to work hard to create something unique. This image does that. The photographer has looked at several options before making this photograph. It is not just taken but seen, The colour palette from the shop sign to the same out of focus flowers in the foreground, the position of the camera and the formal picture qulities which take our eye around the entire image is to be enjoyed. A very clever interpretation of the brief and a worthy winner.
