| There are too many things to look at in this photo - perhaps a different crop to exclude the sign and the bulk of the people and focus on "weird hat guy" |

| What a character! Makes you want to be there, just to see what he was doing. |

This is different. The subject of your shot is at an event of some kind but is not part of the event. Makes you wonder what is going on...

Great subject! I like the way you got both the crazy haired guy and the background in to give a sense of place, good composition. It isn't always that easy to get a blurred background but not obscure the point of the scene. I expect this is San Francisco, but I don't know for sure. I am left wondering why the people are sitting around near this Forever 21 place.
Technically, sharpness and color seem good, except the sharpness of the man's face. When I first looked at the image, my eyes went right to his face but was distracted when it wasn't sharp enough. In advanced editing, I feel like you could have worked on his face and dark details of his clothes a little more to bring out some details.
This might be a good picture for B&W, although your subject is wearing some colorful clothes. As it is, it looks like you did some selective desat, which I think is appropriate.
I'll give you a 6, although it'd easily be a 7 with some more sharpness in your subject.

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment. |

| This is intriguing. Gotta wonder about what's on his head, and why everyone is sitting around and not noticing what's on his head. |

| Nice capture - Like the lighting - Maybe the sign is a little too big and sharp and takes away attention from the main person. |
