Critique Welcomed Paddy's People

.....or a few of them at least.

We'd taken a visiting family member to the National Gallery. I'd overlooked the fact that it was St Patrick's Day and celebratory shenanigans would be taking place outside in Trafalgar Square. When we came out things were starting to get under way.

This couple readily agreed to me taking their portrait, especially when they realised I was using film.



Just around the corner this lot needed no asking, I just had to raise the camera to my eye.......



......the dubious look on the young lady's face says it all.

It was an overcast day, the lens was wide open, the film expired and the developer almost exhausted. All of which contribute to the rough and ready look of the images. It suits the subject matter I think.
