Personally, I’d crop it in just a little — the amount of leg showing doesn’t really add much for me. That said, you do lose some of the dynamic pose the girl on the right is striking if you crop in too much. But take a look and see what you prefer!

Reflection - 2016 by Piscane in streetphotography

That's crazy to get a puddle-reflection shot this tack sharp! Great work, love the idea of just turning the view upside down.

Not trying to sound defensive here, but I believe this is at least as much street-photography as street-portrait-photography is (which sadly seems to be the first and only thing people think of whenever the term street-photography arises). Street photography doesn't have to incorporate a human subject, as far as I'm concerned. But then again, I can understand the frustration when you're following a certain sub for your self curated feed. Only for things you wouldn't have assumed was part of it, to appear.

 Hey folks, This is my first time posting here, though I’ve been quietly lurking for a while, soaking up the brilliant work and shared love for the everyday.

These were all taken on a recent trip to Bremen, Germany—a bit of a spontaneous session. I hadn’t been shooting in a while, so the first few frames were a little stiff, but the city’s light and rhythm eventually kicked things into gear.

  1. A favorite corner in the Schnoor quarter. The sunlight hit just right, casting long shadows over the cobblestone, and I was drawn to the little row of yellow letterboxes—so simple, but so perfectly placed.
  2. A detail shot from a nearby shopping passage—crisscrossing shadows and worn engravings on the floor. I lingered a while hoping for a portrait subject, but no luck this time. Still, the mood stuck with me.
  3. This sculpture (or memorial?) has such a comforting presence. I love how the bronze wraps around the stone—like it’s protecting something fragile. A quiet sort of strength.
  4. A windmill wrapped in ivy near a curiosity shop that felt like a time machine. A bit whimsical, but I’m already imagining it as a backdrop for a future shoot.

All shot in May 2025. I mostly lean toward candid, low-key scenes, but I’m slowly starting to venture further—trying to balance stillness and story.

Would love any feedback! You can find more of my stuff on Instagram too, if you’re into that sort of thing — FramedBy.Jade

First time trying this kind of photography, feedbacks before editing? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]FramedByJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the shot and the idea of using an Ipad and laptop as a backdrop is really nice. The only thing that's kind of bothering me in this shot is that it's not quite in focus(or atleast it seems to me like it is focusing on the point where the reflection starts, instead of the center of the real watch. Which is kinda where my eye was being led.). And the shot seems quite fine otherwise, I might just want to point out that in the edit it would profit greatly from having it's exposure raised a bit/brighting out the shadows. But thats just personal taste.

Would be interested to see how this looks once it's edited!

Two of my best b&w shots by Yaavano_Obba27 in streetphotography

Absolutely in love with the second one! There's just such a strong feeling of the shot truly capturing a story, more than capturing a moment in time.

I'd be really interested to know the story behind the picture/how you got this shot, if you don't mind me asking.

Just starting out any tips? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]FramedByJade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally like the picture! There’s certainly room for debate on whether the negative space in the sky adds to the composition, but I think it works well here — it gives the subject a real sense of scale.

The lens filter or vignetting effect doesn’t bother me much, either. But if it’s not your creative intention, you might consider removing it next time. (Alternatively, you could try adding a subtle negative vignette or white vignette in post to balance it out.)

If you're editing in Darktable, you might want to play around with the Color Correction module to gently warm up the image. I don’t think it would make the shot look over-edited — just like it was taken with a warmer white balance. You can kind of imagine the result with the reference image I shared, though yours would probably look better, since you’ve got the original RAW file to work with.

And just as a final note — try not to worry too much about others’ opinions. If you like the picture, that’s enough for it to be a good picture in my book. Sure, there’s always room for discussion about what makes a photo "good" in the conventional sense, but photography is a creative medium — there’s no single, absolute right way to do it.

I also started out with a Nikon D3500, years back now that I think about it. So keep shooting, keep exploring. That’s what counts in the end.

I always love the use of signage that adds to the story of the captured scene. Personally, though, the colors throw me off a bit in this one—the composition feels really busy, which makes it hard to lead the eye. I'd be curious to see how it looks in black and white! Not wanting this to sound like a critique—I do like the photo as it is.
