Some negative space and symmetry, on a square in the Netherlands. Feel free to critique.

According to those women, you took a picture of those women.

Is that dude in the window eating dry cereal out of the box while watching something intently?

Anyway, I like the photo.

Haha it looks like they’re hugging a carton of milk! Thanks. :)

For OCD symmetry, I would have walked a meter or so to your left and lined up with the bricks that lead to the light pole. This would let you be square to the building across the street too, assuming the bricks run at a right angle to it.

Nice picture otherwise! People are always interesting subjects.

Good point, I’ll keep that in mind next time, thanks!

No worries! It's something I finally noticed in other people's photos recently and now I'm trying to duplicate it in my own. I don't want to tell you how long I've been dabbling in photography before coming to this realization.
