A playful picture with a good contrast and sharpness. What means “P”?

Hi Justana.

You've got an interesting theme going here, with the photos askew. I like this one, especially accompanied by the other photo of the inside of the tram. Some ideas for this one from me:

1) I like how parts of the tram is outside the frame. I often tend to focus too much on getting the whole subject when I photograph, so a photo like this is a nice inspiration for me.

2) The POV I already mentioned. Keeping it askew presents the subject in an original way.

3) I think you could have improved the shot if you had used a low aperture, like 5.6, or maybe lower. Of course with the Sony Cybershot it might not be too easy. I shoot with a DSLR, and that makes it a bit easier to to get the bokeh effect.
If you have access to something like photoshop, you can create a bokeh effect using blur under the filter menu.

4) The diagonal lines created by the POV are interesting, and I think the colors contrast each other nicely. Going black & white with this one, and creating a vignetting effect could be interesting. A vignetting effect in the color version could also help keep the focus even more on the tram and keep your eyes from the people in the background.

Hope my thoughts help. TFS :)
