Thank you biju!! You are right about zooming closer and wait for the people to walk out from the scene. I did try waiting, and as this is a busy area of the city, this is the exit of a railway station, people never stop to get in and out in the frame. Too bad, i should wait some minutes and shoot again. Aperture, checked again in Exif, was 2.8 and focal at 17 and i was about 4 meters away from the shoe polisher. Again, thank you for pointing out those very important details! Best regards Yannis
dear yannis, i loved your subject. however here are a few pointers i would look more closely at. i believe that candid shots work much better at 50-80mm. you could zoom in closer and take away the distracting activity in the background.i would have waited a tad more till the person behind the man getting his shoes polished, moved away, a head seems to be sprouting out of the back of the subject's neck.another thing i noticed is that you have mentioned an aperture of f/2.8, at that aperture the background would have dissolved into a beautiful blur of colors, so i think that your aperture may have been much smaller because you have sharp detail in the background with good depth of field.i may be wrong, in that case please accept my humble apologies. all that said, i loved your subject, and the intricate shoe polish box...way to go. warm regards my friend.
