Waiter

Earache

I like the "voyeuristic" feel here Richard... what he's (actually) doing remains a mystery, and that's cool! ~ Though, one can guess it's the ubiquitous hand-held electronic device .
I'd like it alot in B&W too...
The neck seems a bit hot to me - a little adjustment brush mebbe?

Richard

Actually if you look closely you can see the blue cap of a ball-point pen. We're just so analog here .

You're right, the neck is a bit hot. I also like the B&W version:



It was a tough call, but when I like both, I usually go with color because there are just fewer color street shots that work well.

Earache

Yup, agree that the color works well (better perhaps) here... thanks for posting both versions Richard.
I hadn't noticed the pen tip before, and I hadn't assumed a food-server, as "Waiter" can have multiple meanings... it all makes sense now!

I like the color version better, very nice sharpness on the man. However, I'm not getting a story and the aesthetics of the shot aren't enough for me on this one.

Fair enough. There really isn't a narrative here--I just liked the light, color and textures. Oh, well...

Thanks for the frank comment.
