I was in Vienna not long ago to take photos and this picture was take there. I haven't tried street phography much so l've been focusing on practicing it! I realy like this picture so I shared it on 1x! Unfortunately IT wasn't selected so l'd like to ask what's wrong white this picture, can it be a better picture and what should I pay attention to when taking pictures like this in the future?

There’s something sweet about the mood of this image and the moment you were going for, but the selective coloring is pulling me out of it. It feels dated and a little forced. The woman in pink already stands out because of her movement and expression. You don’t need the effect to make her pop. What would elevate this more is letting the environment breathe a bit. She’s too close to the edge of the frame, and it feels cramped. Give her some room to walk into the scene. The symmetry in the background is great, but when the subject is off balance with that, it creates tension that doesn’t feel intentional. I’d love to see this with natural color and just a cleaner, more thoughtful composition. The bones are there. It just needs less gimmick and more story.

Thank you, Tammy!  This picture was taken by selecting the shop window and waiting for someone to walk past it. Unfortunately, this girl walked a little too close in front of me and her legs are no longer visible. So I took another version with the original colors and the girl slightly to the right.
