This photo feels like a predatory prey scenario...a happy snappy shot.

I agree with skyangel and also would like to add that it is a shame we cannot see the face of grandma, but the story is there.

The photo is OK but you need to straighten it. It's leaning too much to the right.

I feel less would have been more with this shot. I am not bothered by the negative space for it defines the grandmother or the other half of the image. However, the plantar the green wooden gate,detract, so when I say less is more had they been out , to me the image would have appeared stronger and less cluttered, negative space nothwithstanding.

You are totally right. Rules are there to be broken, to our great satisfaction as long as we are not penalised...

However, if I look at your picture I see two! One on the left with a lot of action... full of story telling. And another one on the right side where nothing happens... No story, nothing... Could this be interesting??? To you? What if you change your point of view and try to see it through some other's eyes... Does it stand up???

In photography when you come to broke the rules the only penalty you get is to be not recognized. It hurts, but you learn to what extent the rules are breakable...

I could not really explain why, but I feel attracted by this image, and into it, because of this void space. I want to fill this void and look closer. This might not be academic, only a feeling I get. Sometimes the rules are made to be broken

Apart of rule of thirds it should be a balance in the image. Here the view is mostly deviated from your subject by the said 'empty space'... You could have this in the so called minimalism when the subject is so small and the empty space does not disturb the subject.

Lovely black, blue, orange-red colour combination and great balance

Interesting idea but too much empty space on the right

As luck would have it

The question is: how could such a big bullet come out of such a small cannon?

ha ha ha ha, cool set up, ingenious and I like it.

I found interesting informations about it, whith other nice pics:

Very intriguing indeed, is it a work of art? are these numbers years? ...mysterious mystery !!!

The background is more industrial area than rural...

Very intriguing photo! What is it? Where is it? Does somebody live up there? What are all these numbers???

Yes it does help you grow and even though you might not agree,it alls a learning curve.

I sure hope more members offer suggestions like this, that way we can all get better at our craft. I know "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" and some are hesitant to give reviews, but every little bit helps....and the receiver doesn't always have to agree with the reviewer.

I also think it needs a bit more exposure and also think there is almost 2 photos here,think it would have been better to concerntrate on the cyclist more,you could cut this in two to get 2 different perspectives while still getting the stall in either shot.

Oh that old woman is scary looking, hope I don't look like that when I get older...ewwww. I think your photo could use more exposure to brighten it somewhat. The cyclist draws on our attention....a rather generous derriere. Nice photo just needs some sparkle.

Rock solid image full of eye catching patterns that delight. Your contrast is excellent as is the expsure giving good detail. Nice one this.

Love the colours and brightness of this image. Lots of different textures and shapes. I like it a lot.

Not sure what the focus of this shot is. Markets are notoriously difficult to capture - too often they just look too busy and lack a focus. This shot has lots of detail but no focus.

I suppose it is encrypted in the image and then extracted using software ??

How do they know the data? Especially if the original has been edited?

Is this "auto add feature" referring to the camera data below entry ?? (iso, exposure, etc.) Never heard of that term before.

Post a screenshot of the EXIF data in the SBS to show your shot was made in 2013.

Thanks BOB, I just saw your post, great addition.

With the auto-add feature I mean Vibeke!

NOT, other entries actually followed the them and did a screen shot of their EXIF data

First entry with EXIF data!

I agree I will hold my vote as well

I hold my vote

Nice idea, good DOF and light, but nothing is quite in focus, possibly due to camera shake. If you can, re-shoot using a tripod and crop closer.

Love your concept and its message but, the shadowing creates a lack of sharpness that gives the image a poor quality (IMHO).
