[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sitting down at the blue doorway , this man was busy observing people on the street... and I was busy observing him. He never noticed me, as I only took one quick shot of him as I was walking on that street, almost passing him by at this point.

~~~
A rather unusual crop for me .. but I was keen to show not only his face but the depth and darkness of the interior behind him.

Dear Krzysztof,
Very nice picture! Sharpness of the shot is excellent!
Framing is also quite well chosen.
Thanks for sharing,

Hello, Krzysztof--

Nice work on this one--it is a little bit unusual of a crop, but that's what caught my eye as a thumbnail. He ws busy observing people in the street, somewhat hidden away, and not only did your inclusion of all the space at the top of the frame reveal the depth and darkness of the interior behind him, but it also gave the impression of him being fairly hidden. It seems like your scan could have been better quality, particularly in the area of his cheeks and beard there seems to be a little bit of unnatural blur. That could also be NeatImage, i guess, if you used it.

Thanks!
sam

Excellent portrait, sharp and clear. Nice colors. He seems thinking and amuzing himself over some passerby. The background offers clues to his simple life.
