Warm Chat by the Solitary Road - Raef Al Attar

The conditions were quite bad with me a thornful foliage in a very dim corner. I had to open the aperture @ 2.8 to catch the volatile movement of the man's arms to catch a dramatic posture. Sad, it came out blurry.

Raef, you have the makings and right ingredients here for a good shot. The silhouettes of the people, the goldish color coming through the almost lattice outline of the structure, and some of the foliage, are all nice. Unfortunately the framing of the subject could have used some improvment and you've got a few unneeded and distracting elements. Also some elements, which could have worked quite well for you, such as the lamp, the trees, maybe even the bicycle, are too haphazard and overlapping in their placement. It's a good eye to see this photo opportunity, there wasdefinitely a photo to be captured here, next time working more carefully with the existing elements and placing them better in your compostionm could make it a much better and more memorable image.

I agree with Richard. There are many interesting in this photo, but for several reasons they don't come together.
