The background is to busy and the car window ruins this shot! Im sorry

this is more a candid than formal but, i think that can be overlooked with most of the subs...this event tells the story well.

I like having the car window and the man both in focus, but I wish the rest of the background had been blurred. Using auto focus, the camera will focus on the man, putting about a third of the rest of the "critical sharpness" in front of him and the other two thirds behind him. For a shot like this, you'd have to manually focus so you can set the focus on just the window and the man. Sharpening this image in post-processing would also help bring out his face, which should be the focus of the image in a portrait.

Drive by street portrait? It works, I guess, but I wonder what's in the bag.

Probably not the only one to say it, but the guy has a sign sticking out of his head.
