The Hat Maker

[Craftysnapper]

This lady makes straw hats,I quite likwd the pastel colours in this image a gentler portrait for me than usual .

The pastel colours are nice but it does make it a little less defined 

What does draw my eyes away from the models eyes is the owl like thing in the trunk top left leaving (for me) the image slightly uncomfortably unbalanced

You are right in some ways Fuzzy......but.....

It is alway difficult to know where to crop a hat wearing subject, especially if the study has been taken, ad-hoc instead of in a studio or in a posing situation.

A candid, or Street Portrait.....is just that.......as is......no frills or prep.....just.....see, then shoot.......so the character shines through as clearly demonstrated here.

I cant quite agree with shoot and publish I still think post work is usually needed to present the best image possible

Compose in the lens to the best shot you have and then do the best with that after
