 This man is back-lit by the sun and front-lit by the same sun, but reflected from a large mirrored wall of the building in front of him (shot through a large opening in this wall)

I like how the colors of fall are accentuated by the greens in the background and the sweat ties into the fall trees as well. And nice find of reflected light! I had hope to find some for this challenge but it didn't happen. Thanks for posting in the Reflected Light and Bright Spot thread, if you find more shots, post them and I will comment. :)

I like this better as a city scene than a street capture, where the man is just part of the scene. Personally I get tired of seeing people playing with their cell phones. I once heard a jazz photographer lament that the problem with jazz photography today is that no one smokes any more. The problem with good street photography today is that everyone's on the phone. Times change, I guess.

Sorry if I digressed. I do like the colors and the warm but vivid lighting here. The man's shirt obviously works well here. Nicely composed also.

I agree - lighting and the colors really catch the eye.

The combination of great lighting and the repetition of the autumn colours in the man's clothing make this a really pleasing image.
