Charing Cross Station

Personally, I would have framed the shot to include all of the station name sign or none of it or crop/clone it out.

Being partially chopped off is a distracting eye-magnet for me and detracts from the image.

Ok I will try again.

When, I and I presume most other people post a picture. We have considered the way it looks both with framing and tonally. I post pictures which are to my liking after PP and reframing.

It maybe is just me, but I find people criticise how others could have presented a picture, with suggestions for doing it differently, cropping here and there, bumping up the saturation and such, very irritating in certain circumstances. If sombody asks for suggestions, that is quite different of course.

By the way it is presented, Daneland knew exactly what he wanted to show when he posted this picture. Personally I quite like the dynamic offbeat composition. Others may not like it and maybe think it could have been differently. In that case try and think why the picture was composed this way. I see lots of pictures that do not work for me. I just move onto those that I do like, without further comment.

I don’t have a problem when people give their opinions about my photos. After all, it’s their opinion, and it might even have a valid point. This is especially true for genres like architecture, landscape, macro, etc., which require technical qualities and adhere to established norms and expectations. Critiques in these areas are often easier to make and understand.
However, for street photography, I believe it’s much harder to provide meaningful feedback. Most of the feedback I read tends to be either cliché (“no story,” “no fleeting moment,” “nothing interesting,” etc.) or completely unrelated to the photo. Your feedback falls to the second category. This photo will not be any better or worse with the name of the station captured or not; but I get it, it irritates you but this is life, there are too many irritants around us. Just try to ignore them, it helped me a lot.

In my teens as a resident of "sahfeest" London, that scene looks quite familiar to me ... irrespective of a partial, full or no station sign.

Good one, Daneland !!
