    Wow...I was surprised to see you over in this neck of the woods Azzaro :D

    Nice shot -- I'm always so scared to take photos of people on the street. Think they will get mad at me.

    Except when you do. thumb.gif

    Those are some fairly insane colors you have going there. I wonder if you might build on that some. The wall at the back has a completely surreal look that I love, but not the rest. Add some blur, maybe? Obviously, we're getting completely away from traditional street here, but so what? The fire hydrant bothers me a bit. While the yellow complements the purple tones, I think I would rather either see the whole thing or not see it at all.

    You're becoming a regular here Azzaro. Nice shot. I'm enjoying the simplicity of it. The repetition of the yellow hydrant with the yellow splash on the post is a bonus. I think I would try to draw out any detail of the gentleman himself. Failing that, then possibly push him to silhouette.

    PP isn't a complete sin, just that it stays true to the story you are attempting to tell. Think traditional darkroom stuff. For me, the original is the better version. Even though your crop is the focus of the shot, it loses the context of the man's environment.
