Hey Robin :)

You are right - It was taken with a compact camera (hence the blurry and unsharp feeling)
I already agreed with previous comments that those building are unnecessary :)

Don't agree about the BW though. I wasn't trying to show a Tai Chi balance. I never even thought about Tai Chi actually, until it was mentioned here, in the comments. The guy was just doing warm ups and push ups (!) and in one moment wanted to flex his legs.

Thank you for the criticism. That's the way I like it! :)

About 90, no doubt.

As I said, that's a rule I TRY to follow, but I get about 1-2 good (>10 "photographers" score) shots a year, and try to maintain a blog with that rate :)

Anyway, it was a long shooting session that day and that's the best I got. We learn from bad photos as well.

Thank you for your thoughts guys.
I tried to crop they way you suggest and you right - It's better (and more 'stable') without those buildings.

Finally some good criticism :)

And Itai - you have no idea how glad I am to see you here!

Thank you for your comment, it's great to see you here :)

You are right of course. I tried to help my male model look more alive and in 'action' but the guy was so tired the only thing he was ready to do is hold that beer mug :). Excuses, excuses, I know.

I never said you should like or use any of the comments (whether praise or critique) you get on your work.
As you say, each to his own view and opinion - what I'm against is censoring these opinions or unwillingness to hear them.
Many prefer just to comment 'It's a pretty photo!' because they are worried they might insult the photographer/artist or their comment might be deleted, and that's the main concern in my post.
About professional critique - I don't believe it something one can find online/blogging. Too bad :\

Thank you for your comment! :)

It's not only 'good' or 'bad' when it comes to critique. Sometimes, it's just a different point of view, which can change our own perspective of things.

Critique doesn't always mean 'experience'. Sometimes, it's just your opinion of how things should look or feel.
Of course, people might give different weight to 'professional' point of view, but criticism shouldn't be based on solely on experience.
A good example for this is the story 'The Emperor's New Clothes' - Only one kid saw the truth.

You right. My only defense is that it was a dispensable camera, and I couldn't really plan the frame as it's not allowed to take photos at that place (train station + Israel = No photos)
Thank you for your comment :)
