Very impressive image, Lev. I like the candid feel, excellent B&W conversion and tonal range.

I really like the contrast of the taxi and the bike. However, wouldn't a newer car be better?

I love the use of B&W for the "olden" effect. The "bug" adds to this feeling, as well as the guy on that bicycle contraption, of course!

I like the life the photo brings out and how it protrays the culture of the area.

Great shot. The VW in the background emphasizes old ways as well. Black and white works very well for this image.

Lovely shot - I really like the b&w/duotone conversion you've done on this because it really brings out the various tones. The DoF is great, pushing out the background enough to keep focus on the tricycle - and your subject has an interesting look on his sharp face. Nice.

I actually had to study this photograph quite hard to get it. First several times I saw it, i thought it was a homeless man, pushing his belongings. This may help understand if there is some confusion on this shot.

I belive that this chap is a street vendor who cooks. I belive those are tortillas and cornhusks on his wagon. The over all shot is technically great. Everything that should be in focus is, crisp and clean shot.
