Hey guys!

Please criticize my photo from the Russian public holiday. What could be better?

If the poles behind him wasn't sticking out of his head.
The flowers or whatever he is holding is cropped.

Otherwise, not bad.

A shallower DOF would have a great effect of concentrating the focus on the subject.

Maybe a lower angle for you to shoot from too as wellas the previously mentioned items

Remember to engage brain before putting mouth in gear

One tiny additional item, straighten those poles if they have to be there,
I straightened, used a focal blur and cloned a little background. Do you think this helped? Just my quickie "edit".


Perhaps a crop at the bottom and better cloning in the background but you get the idea.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
