The reality of life is, mostly you can't get the perfect light, the perfect expression, the perfect situation. Does that mean you can't get a good photo? I can't answer that. The eye is in the beholder. I captured my buddy this morning waiting for breakfast. He did remove his COVID mask which is a plus...but I would like critiques on "As-Is" photo. My understanding is that most of the greatest shots have not been in "created" situations. PS: I am not implying that this is a "great" shot, just that it is captures the essence of a person, but would like critiques about crop, editing, etc, knowing that background and lighting are what they are.
PS: Ultimately, I cropped this to try to take out some of the distraction in the background.
