(Street) Shot in Bruges (Belgium). Shot from the hip at night and (therefore) unfortunately not particularly sharp.

Not too bad for a hip shot. I'll say that it's the crop that bothers me a bit. I think this could be cropped to the square format or even vertical. There is way too much space behind the man to my taste. I'd crop that out. And it's not that sharp (1/60th).

Vertical crop is an option, I'll try if that looks better. Thank's for your comment.

Update:



Now I am missing the beautiful window and seat. But the balance between front and backspace is better I think.

grow the image on the bottom a hair, and then clone in some more paving stones to give that area around the foot some breathing room.

Try the square format too, might be the best of both world.

The square format:



Unfortunately I don't have an uncropped b/w version. Otherwise I could have left more space around the foot without having to clone.
