The first one is spoilt with Chromatic abberation

The second shot is just blurred and poor

The first shot is more a shot of a bus and street than of a monk. Maybe it would help to crop it in landscape format so you just have the bus and the people; but then there is the problem that the monk is slightly blurred by his movement. Try getting closer to your subjects and shoot with a higher shutter speed to freeze their movement,

The second shot is also blurred unfortunately. Make sure you are focused on your subject and that your shutter speed is high enough to eliminate camera shake when you press the shutter. The shot would also have looked more dramatic if you had shot from a lower perspective so it was shot at the same height or lower than the sleeping man.

Is that homeless guy the one who hangs out near the National Stadium BTS station?

It's amazing how unfriendly and disgusting some comments on this forum are... as for the pictures - good idea and composition is not bad but only problem is the focus... in the monk picture the focus is on the guy behind him in the striped blue t-shirt and another one is not fully in focus at all. The suggestion: if your camera has the option of manually selecting the focus point - use it. Automatically any camera might always choose the wrong focus point.

But good attempt. Keep on trying!!! That what makes you better!

Have fun!

I am not sure what you want to say with these pictures. They are not very good and you have reviews from others here. But one important matter is this: RESIZE YOUR PICTURES BEFORE POSTING!! They take up far too much space as they are now.

Composition is fine on both Images. As someone suggested I believe, maybe you should lock your focus point in the menu of the camera and only use one focus point (The one in the middle) . This way when you want to shoot a single object in a scene, like the monk or the beggar, you can just lock the one focus point on the person's eyes, recompose and then press the shutter the rest of the way down to shoot it. Both shots are soft probably due to camera shake.
