The Italian lady eating a sandwich….? Why shoot that? Its a horrible comp and subject, and then to top it off, he vignetted her face off. Yikes.
Barcelona is not in Italy…
But it still could be an Italian lady, even though she looks more North European. Probably one of the thousands of tourists that are visiting Barca every day. She’s having a sandwich that she may have bought … anyway, there is a little story in it. Makes me curious. I cannot say that about all the other images.
The story appears to be that she’s had one too many sandwiches.
i think she was french, they love sandwiches a lot
It’s not a Kodak moment, which is precisely the point.
Look at the light and shadows, colors, angles, textures, patterns…
That’s my favorite of this week. I think I’d put Martin on number 2. And I would suggest to crop off the top above the lady’s head in Scott’s picture.
Yes , you are right .
Don’t take too serious about the photos here .
Even the judge himself , sometime lose it’s credibility to pick the right photo .
Street shots in color! How refreshing!
∎∎✬♪✈BROWN < After leaving my work-desk job one year ago, i've been fortunate to
learn about following great website that saved me… Offering well paid
online jobs from home. My last paycheck doing this work with them for 4
months was 10000 dollars… Great thing about is that the only thing
required is simple typing skills and internet access…

There’s a lot to like about Igorj’s pigeon shot – but I think the crop looks wrong.
The wingtips are too close to the edge of the frame – and since that is the major point of interest to me, some more space around them is needed. This really caused me to look away from the picture which is not ideal.
With that addressed it would be my favorite for this week: not often do you see a pigeon looking majestic – not in real life that is.
I like the first one. I don’t know what it is- she’s eating that sandwich like a boss! It’s epic sandwichy’ness.
…Sorry, but in most europian countries, it’s illegal to publish pictures from people without having their permission. The picture of the woman eating the sandwitch, is absolutly embarrassing. As a German, the webmaster should think about twice publishing pictures like that… .
You got Europe and North Korea mixed up. And I guess you are embarrassed quite often.
…The main motiv is the women, so you have to ask her for a permisson. Sorry, but this is normal if you want to publish pictures. This has nothig to do with North Korea or other bullshit. Thats just to protect the privacy of each on of us…. .
No, not in this case. There is nothing disgraceful or bad about eating a sandwich. The way she appears in the picture won’t harm her reputation, won’t make her lose her job, won’t make her lose friends, won’t make anybody decide to attack her, etc. After seeing this picture nobody would make any decision that would have a negative outcome for this lady.
So no reasonable interest was affected.
It could be different if she was a famous politician who just announced that she’s on a hunger strike (but then it would have news value…). Or if she’s an undercover spy hiding in Barcelona. Or if eating on the street is a serious crime. Then you may be asked to remove the picture from your website or exhibition or even pay for the damage.
But in this case? Very unlikely. No problem publishing this picture.
It doesn’t matter if its disgraceful or not. If somebody is the main motif, he must be asked. Period.
If you still disagree, please look up “decency” and “politeness” in Wikipedia.
Taking pictures in the public space is not a crime and does not mean you disrespect the people that appear within the frames of your pictures, whether you ask or not. If not asking is impolite or indecent (not really my opinion, but…), then that’s fine with me.
By the way, you said ‘must’, but that is just not true. You can only say that in your opinion it would be polite / decent to ask.
If the case would go to court, the ‘victim of photography’ would have to show his/her interest was affected, to prevent publication. This won’t be as easy as saying ‘that sweater makes me look fat’.
In my country (Germany), it actually is the law.
To your country it may apply, but your generalization is utterly wrong.
We were talking about most European countries. So Germany = most European countries, or did you assume that the laws in Germany are also valid in the rest of Europe? I may have been generalizing a bit, but at least my explanation is also valid for loads of western countries, in and outside Europe.
But anyway, I think there are good reasons to oppose this law. if I may take myself as an example:
I never know beforehand which pictures are the ones I want to keep.
I never know beforehand which pictures I would like to publish.
I often don’t even see the people that were in my pictures after trying to get the shot I was hoping to get. They usually keep on walking and don’t wait until I’m done.
This law would force photographers to do their work / hobby according to very limiting and (in my opinion) frustrating rules. It involves a lot of extra work that would probably lead to the same result as just completely making it illegal to take pictures in the public space. Either you should force photographers to delete all shots where they failed to get permission, or they would need to keep an administration of which frame is ready for publication, and which frame not.
No way I would be able to remember all the answers from memory after a day of shooting. The people on your pictures may also have forgotten whether they answered yes or no by the time they see themselves on your photo. So how do they maintain this law in Germany? How can you prove anything? Do lawmakers in Germany have a problem with photographers? Is this law supposed to protect the privacy of people on the street? Does it work?
no actually Benjamin is quite right.
If the woman would be shown that picture and asked if she would be ok with it being published online, she would likely not agree at all.
But that’s what ‘street photographers’ do no? Taking pictures of people unawares and consider it art. Or was it voyeurism?
