I wouldn't go quite that far.  I'd sure like to see it without that
distracting statueor whatever on the right of the frame.  Perhaps a bit
tighter with the zoom would have made this one truly outstanding.
Oh yeah, needs more color.

I really like this one, Daniel.  It's kind of funny.  Telling a bit of
a story. I can remember the feeling of those teenage students when I
was their age and being bored out of my mind at an art museum.

Good Day Daniel,

 This brought a smile to my face. A great
candid of art immitating life. I would have cropped
a bit more. Coming in on the three subjects.
Removing non-needed pieces to get the
story. Cropping out the statue to the right,
a tighter crop on the subject. Don't need to
see as much of the painting on the wall to
show they are in a museum.
 You don't need to get a "zoom" lens. Just
crop some when you get ready to present
the image.

Great capture and good timing.

Keep at it.

Draco

The old adage, "Zoom with your feet" would not have worked here as it
likely would have messed up the whole scene.  That's where you need a
good zoom, but alas, poor Daniel is a Prime suspect.

Hello Bret,
 As I suspect that Daniel is, like most of us,
has limited funds and can not afford a
70-200mm f/2.8 or faster lens to capture the
candid moments such as this one. So prime
lens will be his main choice for capturing the
image moment. You' re right if he had walked
closer with his camera stuck to his face he
would have lost the magical moment he did
capture.

Keep shooting Daniel.

Draco

I'm not limited for that reason.

Mainly I do street photography with a Leica
that cost 3x the price of a 70-200/2,8.

But if I use such a lens, people will react, and
I'll not take the same pictures !

Bonjour Daniel!
Comment ca va?
Je suis tres bien!
Just out of curiosity, have you thought about going digital?  Leica is
a very expensive film camera.  I sometimes use a Canonet QL 17, which
is called the "poor man's Leica".  It is very discreet and
lightweight.  The only downside is not having a bayonet lens.  But it
is a fabulous camera.
Take care Daniel!
Helen

Hello :)

Good !

> Just out of curiosity, have you thought about going digital?

Before buying the Leica I thought going digital or going
Leica M, and I choose the M7.

> Leica is a very expensive film camera.

Now, film or digital, but expensive.

The QL17 is a very fine camera ! A friend of mine bought one
after talking with me about this kind of gear ;)

Yes.....I like it too. The sculptor could have included the two women right
into his reclining figure......But, you did it for him!
