Title: Anticipation of delicious
Post by: RBSinTo on December 19, 2015, 07:08:03

Taken a few weeks ago in the St. Lawrence Market here in Toronto.
I was standing near one of the fine Butcher shops that also produces and serves excellent prepared meats when I saw a woman waiting while the butcher prepared her sandwich.
I loved her look of anticipation as he sliced the meat and I grabbed this shot.

That must end up as  very rich and fulfilling sandwich, so no wonder she is looking enthusiastic :D

You captured a perfect moment.

I felt it on FZ and I still feel it on NG: the crop is VERY close and the skin tones of the girl are below expectation.

A  breeze to "fix" the overall image, but why bother? It can only degrade the look of authenticity.

The framing works fine for me.

It doesn't need "fixing".
I like it just as it is.

That might be the point: "authenticity is it" ... "technicality is peripheral"

Oh my...I'm hungry now!

I'm glad you're shooting film, more variety here is great.
