*It's You Or Me Baby*, a photo from District of Columbia, South

Photographer's Note

I emerged from around a corner, and there he was. He made a move. Not to sure what his intent may be, I positioned myself to counter his attack.
I had to do it.
I shot him.

Quite a character, you got him perfectly. And his shadow too. I guess you "killed" two birds with one shot :-)

This is just too cool of a shot- you really seized the day on this one.
Black and White is highly effective. It appears to be mid-day on a sunny day based on his shadow, a challenge you handled well.

And I guess he was hit by the blazing sun! :)
Though I can see some technical problems (two large darker bands on each side), I don't care too much because you are bringing again one of your funny and interesting characters that only you have the secret. A few days ago, I was wandering through your photos in Flickr and I was telling myself "Why doesn't he post them in TE???" Well, to tell you the truth, my thoughts were a lot more developed in French, but hey, I try to give you the taste of them. So thanks! ;)
Love the cities seen through your eyes, Chris...

Great photo!! It's like he is saying to you 'come and get me!.

The 2 things i really like about this photo is his headless shadow and his magnificent ring.

Well done!

Hi Christopher,

Very interesting photo. A little tilt probably wouldn't hurt either. You shoot him, and his head disappears from his shadow :-) Wow!

Best regards,
Lamberto
