 My third attempt and I still couldn't get it the way I had envisioned.. believe me.. I tried.[This is backup shot actually] The lighting was just so hard to get right especially with the strong light coming in from the sides.. The face kept disappearing in the shadows.. I so wanted to keep this in colour because he had such cute red hair.. but alas it wasn't to be.. This was the only picture this high up [pov wise].. most of the others were taken with me sitting at the same level he was.. but I would have lost more details of his little shop.. needed a wider angle lens for that..

and just a little bit of dodging makes a WORLD of a difference but this was basic.. :(

This shot is perfect for the challenge. This evokes a very somber mood. Makes me want to talk to this guy and see if he's doing allright. 9.

You can't really tell what this person is doing in their photograph and it makes you think because of that.

I like it, it has a very 'real' feel over it (well, it is real, I suppose). I think I would have liked it even better from a lower angle and in colour.

The editorial of this one is fantastic. What's the saying? The cobblers children have no shoes.

great use of tones, great capture, but the framing is a little bit tight for me (and i love tight framing!). Still, 8
