Critique Welcomed It's Been A Long Day

[Brian Moore]

Carcassone, France.

Olympus OM2n with Kodak Tri-X.

Brilliant, Brian. Love the way the main subject is somehow a side show of the main event. And then there is the wonderful 'castle'.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Fab picture, Brian. Pretty much what Pete said. What small thing I would add is the sense of size and the scale of everything that the people dotted at various points along the thoroughfare bring to the image. Stunning old castle.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Excellent. Lots to observe in that scene, and I do sympathise with the tired man - that's usually me. The sun just wipes me out. Our daughter kept a diary of our family holidays when she was a kid, and there are an embarrassing amount of entries that begin along the lines of: "Mum and I went to such and such a place, as dad was sleeping in the hotel room". Guilty as charged.

Thanks Pete. Miss Sarah N Dipity strikes again. Didn't anticipate the man doing what he did just as I snapped the shutter.

Thanks Ralph. The castle is pretty impressive,...at least from the outside. Inside its inner walls seemed like a Disneyland atmosphere to me,...lots of souvenir shops, etc.
