People in Garissa, Kenya

Garissa is in the eastern part of Kenya - this was an open air event taking place and here are a few of the images that I caught

3. Photo Quantity Limitations
Do not post more than 3 photos in a thread for critique. Choose your absolute best 3 shots of the series and post those. Posting more than 3 shots per thread will only hurt your chances of getting an honest critique since critiques do take time.

Sorry about that - it has been corrected

Out of the 3 here ... I feel the last one is your strongest. The woman in the 3rd one has character and emotion. I also feel your exposure for her skin is spot on here as well.

One your first one, the guy on the left (main subjects right) is cut off and doesn't really add to the photo, so he is more of a distraction. Did you get another photo with both of them in? The smile and exposure are nice, but the composition could use some work.

On the Second one, I feel the woman is too squared and closed in. Pay attention to your rule of thirds here. Also, you cut off her elbows and some fingers, makes the shot distracting and closed in. Since this shot already cuts those off ... I would crop closer and get a CU shot as oppose to this MS, making it more of a headshot as oppose to a profile. Also the shot is a tad over-exposed.

This is what I see. Keep on shooting and look forward to seeing more photos from your trip there, if you have any others.
