    Fun one, and with a self-portrait bonus mwink.gif. I'm not sure you need so much space at the left, but then, I like tight crops.

    For me it did not work with a tight crop, of course I tried :D

    Also since, yeah yeah it's an SP, I felt an uncropped presentation clearly show how close is "close enough" at least in this shot. I should of knelt down however I think.

    All that aside I'm glad I got this fellow in that light.

    The hat and shades plus the salt & pepper beard are just wild and crazy .
    I think the hat and shades,beard,and the light hitting his face along with a some of the reflection from the back of his hat just might look pretty darn cool in B/W and it might still be enough to make a cool image although it would be a pretty tight crop . Do you think their is enough ?

    Fine shot Ben. The position of the hands tops it off. And I agree with you that that empty space has to be there on the left. A sense of place usually is important in s....t p.........y. The reflection of people (yourself included) and the line in the street put the guy in the real world.

    Thanks
    I'd did a B&W version, it looks OK but this speaks to me in color, however.
