Hey Robin :) You are right - It was taken with a compact camera (hence the blurry and unsharp feeling) I already agreed with previous comments that those building are unnecessary :) Don't agree about the BW though. I wasn't trying to show a Tai Chi balance. I never even thought about Tai Chi actually, until it was mentioned here, in the comments. The guy was just doing warm ups and push ups (!) and in one moment wanted to flex his legs. Thank you for the criticism. That's the way I like it! :) My recent post Calmness

About 90, no doubt. As I said, that's a rule I TRY to follow, but I get about 1-2 good (>10 "photographers" score) shots a year, and try to maintain a blog with that rate :) Anyway, it was a long shooting session that day and that's the best I got. We learn from bad photos as well. My recent post Calmness

Thank you for your thoughts guys. I tried to crop they way you suggest and you right - It's better (and more 'stable') without those buildings. Finally some good criticism :) And Itai - you have no idea how glad I am to see you here!

Thank you for your comment, it's great to see you here :) You are right of course. I tried to help my male model look more alive and in 'action' but the guy was so tired the only thing he was ready to do is hold that beer mug :). Excuses, excuses, I know. My recent post Light

I never said you should like or use any of the comments (whether praise or critique) you get on your work. As you say, each to his own view and opinion - what I'm against is censoring these opinions or unwillingness to hear them. Many prefer just to comment 'It's a pretty photo!' because they are worried they might insult the photographer/artist or their comment might be deleted, and that's the main concern in my post. About professional critique - I don't believe it something one can find online/blogging. Too bad :\\ Thank you for your comment! :)

It's not only 'good' or 'bad' when it comes to critique. Sometimes, it's just a different point of view, which can change our own perspective of things. My recent post Light

Critique doesn't always mean 'experience'. Sometimes, it's just your opinion of how things should look or feel. Of course, people might give different weight to 'professional' point of view, but criticism shouldn't be based on solely on experience. A good example for this is the story 'The Emperor's New Clothes' - Only one kid saw the truth. My recent post Light

You right. My only defense is that it was a dispensable camera, and I couldn't really plan the frame as it's not allowed to take photos at that place (train station + Israel = No photos) Thank you for your comment :) My recent post Light

Hey Mickey, awesome seeing here :) Funny, I'm familiar with Sephi and his blog. He is one of my contacts on Twitter. Ye, I tend to agree with his words, even thought they sounds bit harsh. On the other hand, it does sounds like a wake up call :) And you right about my intentions from this photo, the idea was the light patterns. Simple, I know. But it was real fun playing with that dispensable camera :) My recent post Light

It's a part of project by Andrew Moore. More information can be found through the link in the post, however I do must add that it has nothing to do with my current work. Just had some fun with a dispensable film camera for a while :) Thank you for your comment! My recent post Light

True. Constructive criticism demands certain effort and time, which most people don't have in our fast , multi blogging world. My recent post Light

Thanks :) The idea was to show the path of light going through the darkness. I used a dispensable camera here, so I very little (no?) control over the actual settings. My recent post Light

Thank you. That shadow, I think, it's the only thing I really love in this photo. Achieved by a small lamp standing in front of the couple My recent post Light

Thank you for your words. After this experience, I realized staged photography is not my cup of tea. I just enjoy 'the moments' on the streets too much :) My recent post Light

Hey Rhys! Thanks for you comment and PLEASE don't add 'sorry' when writing a critique - I can take it, I promise you :) I'm not sure whether it's the right medium or not, it was just a try to make a wedding(!) invitation to a couple of friends of mine. Obviously, the result got way too spoke for such a cause, and it ended up on my blog, as a first try in such type of photography. And of course I will be back to Street Photography - Nothing beats the streets :) Thank for your comment, man :) My recent post Light
