Two on the streets of Oxford

[Gareth Lock]

These two were taken while wondering around Oxford for street photography subjects. Found some!! Both taken on the S2 with 85mm f1.8

The 'ASK' photo was a quick spot and had to do some quick jiggling to fit the people and 'ASK' in. Would have preferred to have more of the people but did not have time to change the lens.

Wish I stayed around the saxophonist longer, it was nice to hear someone really enjoying themselves!

wow! That lens looks to be killer! Very sharp, great contrast.

Hi Gareth,

I like the composition of the ASK image.... better you got it this way than include more people... it'll only distract the attention away from the ASK sign and the two people relating as if the girl is really actuating the "ASK" situation. At least you got them focused on such two components of the frame.

I like the second one as well... good capture of the expression of the player... would have cropped it a little tight more from the left to eliminate the girl passing by.

Your lens is razor sharp....

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Dennis :D

Nice, nice work. I also like the Ask image the way it is. If you had been able to back up, it wouldn't be as big in the frame and therefor not as dominant-I like it like this.

The second one is great! I would probably back up a bit instead of crop in more, I'd like to see his environment. He did a great job of posing for you!

Both are very nice .... crisp, and I prefer the composition just the way it is.
