For many people, but not for everyone...

Your post processing really pushes this shot into the top. Not only the vignette but the tones between the two areas. The dog, the people at the tables, and the man on the bench. First 10 vote from me. Nice work, very nice.

I'll take a dozen :-)

I like the toning here. Looks like how Setzler tones his shots as well as the composition and engaging the subject into the shot. Very well done.

Everyone seems happy. Two things I may have done... tried to capture a little bid of road between the edge of frame and her shopping cart wheels, and then crop a bit of the top off so my eye doesn't wander up there. Crop out unneeded stuff, it only pulls the viewers eyes away from your main subject.

Blocking Bricks

Shame no one is looking at the camera. With everyone's back to me I have a hard time engaging myself into the image. I see the brick and everything, but even as a documentary shot, it falls short. Eyes, faces, expressions, will help your viewer connect. Wait for something to happen that pulls you in, and then you'll pull the viewer in as well.

Well composed and processed. Engaging expression from the man. A lot of textures and shades throughout to keep me interested. I just wish there was something on one of the steps on the right, just something whimsical... I know you can't go adding something like that in street photography, but it would be just the pop this image needs to elevate it to spectacular status.

Crop, crop, crop. Seems to be my major comment I leave people. This guy is interesting, and you want the viewer to keep their eyes on him, but with the white space on frame left, my eyes are drawn to the upper left. Crop a little off the left, put a light vignette around the edges and pull the viewer back into the middle with the man... just to prove it, took me all the way until now to even notice the white pursed woman in the window behind him. Nice subject, just needs some polish.

Grain in a b/w is not bad. I feel you've reduced the noise in this shot which changes the feel to me. The tone also has almost a purple hue to it... and contrasty black and white conversion that is more black than purple with a vignette around the edges might make the image have just a bit more impact for me.

Apart from some oversharpening and maybe just a little too much at the top off the image, which draws my eyes away from the man, this is a nice shot. I like the monochromatic nature of the shot, and the interest in the mans face.

composition is good, the subject is lacking in keeping my attention. It also looks like you may have done some noise ninja or neatimage on the shot. Perhaps keeping the noise with a high contrast b/w conversion would add more umph to the photo.

Tone and capture of the man is good. I would like to see a crop that is less of the left and top of the frame. All the added distraction on those areas pulls my interest from the man with the headphones.
