Candid, shot from the hip -- actually my rear, as I had just walked past him. I aimed behind me and hoped for the best.

I really don't mind the angle here so much, it adds interest to the shot. There does appear to be some noise which I gather might have been created during processing if this was shot at ISO 80?
I don't mind the noise here either but I guess it's not to everyone's tastes, this looks like a perfect candidate for "grunge/overlay" processing if you wanted to disguise it....
I'm not too sure about the colour of the man's skin, it looks a bit blotchy.
Overall, for something shot from the hip I'd say job well done!

This is my fave of the group. Amazing how you got him in such great focus shooting from the booty! The angle is perfect for me. The photo has me wondering what his story is. The cane - no shirt - cigarette... very intriguing.

Interesting composition, i see a lot of triangles and shapes ... very artistically done... I'm not sure all of DPC will like it but I do :-) and I don't know -why- other than the unusual choice of angle and artistic twist to it :)

It;s a pity the walking stick is not quite vertical in the frame.
