Nutella food truck.
Because it's a amazing super wow extraordinary composition, unreal, beyond belief, mind-bending, overwhelming. Any factor is purely subjective (non-technical) and it depend of you and your culture. I prefer to leave it to free interpretation, if you have doubts about if this is a FP, you should vote Oppose. For example, background could be disturbing for someone and for someone else not because background is same subject street food :) --The Photographer (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I thought you might want to argue for the composition and give me something more to consider, but I guess I'll just  Oppose based on it not being that sharp. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:53, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak  Oppose because of too tight crop (left/top/right) and oversharpening (sharpened noise visible all over the frame). Nice idea and magic colours though, certainly a beautiful image, just not perfect enough to be featured IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 05:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done @Kreuzschnabel: I added more space on top --The Photographer (talk) 18:13, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nice comment, This photo was taken from the street and without tripod, do you have some recomendation (ISO, DoF, Exposure..)?. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 11:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see anything obviously wrong with your settings. Maybe an even shorter focal length would have enabled you to go for a slower shutter speed without risking blur due to camera shake and then in turn go down with the ISO a bit. But then again wider lenses tend to have slower apertures. Speaking of aperture: Maybe you could have tried another shot at F1.8 or 2.2 (depending on how well your lens performs wide open) to see if that still brings you enough DOF and less noise (through lower ISO). After all, with a DSLR you don't have to pay for film ;-) --El Grafo (talk) 16:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Putting the noise and crop issues mentioned above aside for a moment: As long as I look the cart only and ignore everything around it, this is a beautiful image - love it! I realize that in the streets you have to work with what is there. Nevertheless, the surroundings are a part of the picture, and like the choice of the main subject they can make or break the over-all image. In this case, unfortunately for me they break it. The yellow-ish light coming from the sharp right (easily visible on the panels behind the cart) is not in perfect harmony with all that purple, but on second thought might actually work quite nicely (warm yellow balancing the cool purple ...). It's the background in the upper third that's bugging me most. 1) That section adds several different light sources that don't really harmonize with the main purple and yellow ones. (Try converting to greyscale to see this: The magic of the purple of course is gone, but also the background is much less attention-grabbing) 2) The background is way too "busy" for me, especially the people below the red roof of the cart are very distracting for me. I'm actually having difficulties keeping my eyes on the subject as they always seem to drift towards the heads. Again, shooting wide open might have helped a bit with that. The borders between subject and background are pretty straight and simple apart from that potted plant, so it might be worth a try applying some gaussian blur to the background to smoothen things out a bit. As always: Just my personal impression, someone who actually knows something about street photography might disagree strongly. --El Grafo (talk) 16:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done @El Grafo: Excellent comments, I removed distracting people, I denoised area (top parasol and main object) and yellow bottom light. Please, let me know what do you think --The Photographer (talk) 11:14, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes ✓ Done If you send me a picture, I could be added in the background --The Photographer (talk) 11:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
