    great subject matter..you can "feel" the character in their faces. Other then that the backgrounds are quite distracting. Open up that aperture at least if you can't frame clean backgrounds.

    I can help saying, "I will crush your camera, you capitalist pig" in a heavy Russian accent when I look at #3. BTW, I do a really good accent.

    Their faces definitely show a lot of character. And there is enough metal on their chests to build a small submarine :D

    Nice pictures.

    Fantastic subjects. My favorite is the guy on the right in #3. Could you have zoomed/moved closer to get a tighter crop? Those faces look like they have seen a lot. Well done.

    I don't know what it is about number two but I love the picture. Perfectly framed and interesting.

    I think I'm a Little ashamed of previous posters.
    Foques, anonymouscuban and schmoo. A little respect if you don't mind.

    Good shots,
