Did You Get My Good Side?

That's what he asked me after I snapped this picture. I was on my way to a Red's game in September when I saw him sitting there.
I'm not a huge fan of selective color, particularly when the color portion of the photo is over saturated...which I see way too often. I decided to try it on this shot knowing that the color portion is somewhat muted and stands out just enough to draw some attention.
C & C welcome.

Thanks,
Mark

If you never know an enemy, how do you understand the worth of a friend?

    Hahahaha! I should hope his front side is his good one.

    I like that he is the colorful one and the others are bland. It emphasizes his stillness contrasted with the motion on the left.

    Sorry, but he's shot from too far away for me to be able to read the sign or really get this. Also, if it was worth shooting and showing it's worth showing in either black and white or color, and shouldn't need a gimmick to draw attention to the subject. Just my humble opinion, of course.rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif
