Would be better if you'd been a little lower and had focused on the (I'm assuming) woman's face. You've got a lot of blank space at the top of the shot, with the (let's say) woman's head nearly dead center.

thank you. I agree.
I know there are no excuses for a photographer, but that was not easy: backlight and automatic apperture-priority camera. I know focus and framing is fucked up. It was a fraction of a second. My skills were not at the required level and this image will never be shot again.
Thank you.

Yeah, I doubt I would've done much better, even shooting with my 40D with full autofocus. Practice makes perfect and all that, though.

Apparently Henri Cartier-Bresson was really annoying to have a conversation with because he'd always be sort of shifting around looking to get the best composition for a shot even when he didn't have his camera with him. And when he did have his camera with him, he'd also always be fiddling with the lens because he was so good he could zone-focus without looking at the lens much less the viewfinder.

I wish I had those kind of skillz.

true: practice builds your perfection.
I use to blindfocus and most of the times blindcompose when using the XA (hence the main faults of the picture). In this example, if I focused and framed through the viewfinder, that lady would cover up her breast and give me some insult. Also there were other romanian or albanian men over there and the whole thing would not be finished okay. They are not so kind people...

Holy shit, that's a boob.

I totally didn't realize that at first-through-fifth glance.

and she's holding a cigarette on her right hand. I did totally bad framing...

Borderline morality in this shot. Possibly even crossing that line.

My intention is to document a reality which is happening in my country. The government is telling everybody that we are super-fashion european city but behind that thin courtain, there are hundreds of thousands on the verge of the shame. I want to show it to everybody.

i like it, technically it is pretty bad, but you show something important, which matters more.

what about using an AF camera?

I really like it, despite of the technical problems. Nice picture :)

thank you all!

I use to prefocus, then the worst focus I can get is like the picture's. If I use autofocus, the worst focus it can get if the autofocus gets lost, is a completely blur image. Am I explaining good? (sorry for my English).
Although, my Bessa R and Olympus XA do not have autofocus :-)

Are you scanning with sharpening on?
Forget trying to fix the focus, all you are doing is making the grain really nasty looking.
Apart from that I agree with the others, good shot, the technical aspect doesn't really detract that much.
