Estonia has been inhabited by people since 8500 BC, according to Wikki, no wonder it has so much texture!

You have done a wonderful job of saving this from the 'stinker' pile. The shoes are really in contrast to the old world surroundings and processing. Truly a great image.

I love how the layer kind of mutes the colors, yet the reds stillo pop through.

Heh heh, the overlay seems to add the nicotine patina / aura that might be otherwise missed.

Good one.

Love it! Shooting from the hip can yield some great candids with the bonus of having a unique perspective.

I do like the angle on this! The harsh texture goes right along with the cig in his hand. Nice way to put them together for impact.

Could have fooled me on the shot-from-the-hip...everything about that composition looks expertly and artistically planned.

lol . 'shot from the hip' ..
you really have to be sneaky sometimes otherwise you'd miss out on some excellent photographs . this is brilliant .. its such a common sight these days especially when ppl arent allowed to smoke indoors .. ohhhhhh .. i'm just assuming its like that over the world like it is in australia .. workers go out on their breaks and lunch to smoke .. when i was younger we were allowed to smoke EVERYWHERE .. i had a head-on car accident and banged myself up very badly .. i was in hospital for quite a while .. and can you believe it, i was allowed to smoke in the ward ..!!! i cant imagine it now .. lucky they got that right ..
anyway .. i love this shot for your perspective, the laugh i got hearing you shot from the hip and the excellent processing .. that guy really looks so estonian .. !!..:)
