Faces Are Not Required

I had some PMs with Mike and the contact was easy and pleasant. I felt
like he understood what I meant even with my language difficulties.

Light is free… capturing it is not!
It hardly compares to the winner of that contest, but I understand your point and appreciate you sharing the link with my shot in mind Gary. As limited as my experience in photography is, I find that critique, especially by photographers whom I respect, like NS and yourself...... (and a great number of others around here: ( I really am a small fish) is wonderful ! It means someone actually looked at my picture and had a thought about it. That's pretty cool. NS didn't like that the neighbors face did not show. To me, that only meant that he would have liked to see her face in the image. It would have made a better connection with him as an outsider to the scene.
Yourself and others liked it just as it was.
Conclusion: Keep taking pictures !!
