This is great. I was there this summer, as my sister lives in L.A. and it's amazing all of the colorful surroundings and people. You captured this guy so well. I'd like to see a zoom in maybe, less of the background and more of him.

The background definitely adds something.

Well, I must say, this man is VERY extraordinary! This image fits the challenge very well! I may have given it a tighter crop on the left and top but still an extraordinary image. 8

Great focus and details of everything from the banner behind him to the textiles on the ground. Perspective is very good but maybe if it were taken a bit lower and maybe closer to eye level of the subject. Background is a bit bright but details are still present in the banner as I can see the fine wrinkles. Excellent shot overall!

Beautiful shot with great color and nice composition. Focus is just a bit soft, but it's still one of the best shots in the challenge. Nice job!

Nice image and colors. To me the contrast seems a little too high.

This must be a popular fellow! It's the second time I've seen him in this challenge!

Very nice shot, great subject and background, but unfortunately overexposed. In extremely bright situations like that where there is also a bright background a fill flash works great. Meter on the background then dial down your flash -1.3 stops. Brings out the shadows on the subject while properly exposing the background.

Good color, very sharp, nice job capturing the subject despite the bright sunlight. thought about this type of entry myself, but didn't know anyone so qualified for the challenge.

Interesting slice of life, and a good shot of it. I like the colors, both foreground and background.

I love it. The colors are fabulous. Levels might need a slight adjustment - seems a bit too white/bright.

He is certainly an extraordinary character. I like the composition and the use of color. I also like the dark figure against the light background.

Hey now, there's another picture in here of that man but in black and white. Someone is either taking the same picture under different names or someone lives in the same town taking the same pictures. ??????
