Dull Job (*) by Canon DSLR Challenge

A suprisingly tricky shot, taking it involved standing in the road. If only my job was that easy. Nah, I'd be bored.

I know how that happens, especially when standing in the road to take the shot. I do think that the image is wonderfully captured:) Chris

Yes, I see your point. It was obvious to me that he was holding the sign and the magazine, but only because I was there. I was concentrating too much on not seeing the guy's face, and not enough on repositioning myself for a good shot. Richard

I might have chosen a different angle for this shot. As it is now I don't really see any relation of the person in the grey to the sign, other than they are standing close to it, and they caught your eye. Possibly shooting more at a 2/3rds view would have show this person holding the sign in on hand, and reading the magizine with the other. I only assume that is what is going on because of the title, but I think it is a lot to assume that the viewer would get that without the title, and have seen people holding signs like this. Chris
