My Best Friends in NYC

I photoshopped the picture to have this kind of tonality on purpose... I really like the Eggleston version of the 70's aesthetic, and the post-processing has meant to capture that sort of 1970's coloring.

Real critiques welcome!

This is coming from a guy's perspective, but I am not crazy about the crop/framing. There seems to be a lot of activity going on below the frame, and especially because I see skin, I am more drawn by what I can't see than what I do. It also seems that the focus of the photo is on the people in the fram, yet they only comprise a small portion of it.

The focus is on the girls and the graffiti in the background.... my eyes start from the girls and travel upwards into the graffiti and the black space.

There is some activity going on underneath the frame, and other people have commented on how they would like to see more of her leg. I kinda like the mystery it leaves... I was thinking along the same lines as the idea that what you leave out of the frame is as important as what you put in the frame. I understand your inherently male annoyance with the lack of leg showing, though lol

Thank you for your critique!
