    I'm good with this except, the distraction frame right.
    There's not enough of it to be interesting.

    I think Ben is right, although I love the roof over the station. I'm torn. Nice shot.

    I get you Ben,
    I liked his direct stare. No flinching, no nerves almost a bit confrontational is the vibe I got.
    He was with a group of males and they were trying to get men as they walked by to stand infront of them as they draped things on their shoulders and did a prayer of sorts. I have no idea what the occasion was and I did a horrible job of describing the event and worse shooting it.
    When I included the guys in the shot it was no good, it didn't capture what I wanted, so I went for the stare, which didint' work either :)

    thanks Juano. I think that's likely all it is a nice shot. Still a keeper for me, but...

    I like his swagger with the coat tossed over the railing. Whatever he has in his mouth looks like a piece of tall grass. His whole demeanour brings John Wayne to mind. So, although the right side is lacking, I still like the mood you've captured Liz.

    Swagger is a good word for it.
    The straw in his mouth is actually part of the belt he was wearing, if you follow it down it's attached to his waist. All the men with him were wearing a similar belt.

    Thanks Patti.
