This was taken at the almost completed Chinatown market a few days back.
Compositionally, against conventional norm, I had placed him on the right with very little space between him and the edge of the frame. This was because of too much clutter on the right side and including them in would had kill off the scene.
Does placing the subject so close to the edge works here?
If it does, do the almost empty space on the left cause an inbalance?
Would a square crop help to rectify that inbalance?
Also, there are three dominant colors in the image. Is the tri colors more aesthetically pleasing or would
a conversion to black and white as in HERE helps to isolate the subject better?
Thanks for your time and thoughts on this.
