    Welcome to Dgrin!
    It's a nice street scene with some complimentary diagonals!
    I like the B&W here.

    Well composed shot. Like his look of boredom and cigar in mouth.

    Processing can use some work. It is really flat in contrast. Try brightening the exposure. Note the white has a flat gray look and the blacks lose detail completely.

    Thank you for checking my picture out and giving some feedback.

    is this closer to what you are getting at? I played with the levels a little and reposted it here.

    Hi there and welcome to Dgrin wave.gif. Interesting character. I think I might have moved some so as to get his face from the front, if that had been possible. As for the processing, the rework is a little better in that the tee shirt no longer unduly attracts the eye, but the blacks have suffered and the contrast is still not very strong. A curve will give you more control than levels. Keep at it. thumb.gif
