AT HEADQUARTERS

[FUJI]

There's a barbers called ....Headquarters....in town, I pass by the window most days, hoping to catch a moment like this; the best of a huge number of attempts during the past few years.

 

To get the customer inside the Q was my aim, everything else is a bonus.....great fun!

It's a shame about the reflection - the simple image of the guy's head inside the Q with the trailing "hair" and the barber's isolated hand, is very arresting. That's a wonderful concept and achievement, but the reflections - while they would add to an ordinary shot of that scene - detract from the particular concept. At least, to me they do.

We its different...............

I agree re the reflections, but the idea behind the shot is superb. Another winner from the Foojmeister.

Quite right, the reflections are superfluous, the context and composition is King

Try this then....

Just crop off the original.

As I explained, I have to take care not to attract the eyes of the subjects, they are literally a couple of feet away through that window.

No, no - you misunderstood! It's not the composition, the framing, I was talking about - it's the external reflections, which are stronger than ever in that crop. I far preferred your original shot, which was such a great idea.
