Since our critical feedback is requested, here are my friendly "two cents": I too like the colors but the guys in the right corner bothers me. What is its "role" here. Obviously he is not the main subject, although positioning him close to 1/3 of the frame attracts the eyes to him. He is out of focus but takes more space than a lady in the left corner If more of his figure was shown, including the bike and he was sharper it would have given the picture a different sense. The scene obviously cannot be re-shot - in this circumstances i think that cutting the right part of the image out would have made the picture more balanced. IMHO
Michael Mossiagin This is the scaffold section so obviously I am asking for critical feedback. And, I like your above feedback because it is accurate, detailed and , as much a photography critic can be, factual.
In my reading, the main subject is neither the man neither the woman but their relation (or more precisely their oppositions )
It seems that I have not been successful in my enterprise.
I would add a differing perspective, to the ones already expressed, and equally valid.
To my eye, we have established a triangular pattern, formed with the man and right side being a vertical line and the woman a corner. This is very strongly geometric. As it is a 'side turned' triangle, it is a strong 'tension' built visually. The sides of the building echo this. Artistically, I see it as a dynamic composition, exactly as it is.
Interesting harmony of colors. Well done! :-)
