 Taken during the miniGTG with [user]Mephisto[/user] on the streets of Cluj-Napoca. There were actually 3 guys sitting on a sidewalk in a back alley. We approached and eventually this man asked us to take some photo of them. He was rather happy and tried to explain us some stuff about politics and economy the best way he could given the fact that he and the rest of the gang were drunk.

Great work. There's a reason this type of shot does well on DPC. The eyes are perfect, and the detail is really nice and sharp.

He seems wise with a twinkle in the eye. As if he laughs at you. Great shot.

Nice exposure and I'm glad to see this isn't too over processed.

i really love the lighting and tones in this photo. the suject seems to be quite intristing as well, almost like the man is leaning in to tell me a secret or even a story of some kind, this photo has what most ry for and that is the ability to take you some where by pulling you in to the photo,
nicely done! has to be one of my faves for this challenge so far!

Looks like a tribute to Joey Lawrence. Wish the eyes were a little clearer.

His face is so intriguing. I bet he can really tell some stories. I love the catch lights in his eyes.
