 Title reference is in the image itself..
I chose it because it's so contrasting with the expression on the man's face.

This was a hard edit and I'm still not satisfied AT all...

I probably chose the wrong image but honestly I've looked at the previous candid challenges and I can't tell why one image is at a 5.9 and another at a 6.9.. I like both equally and see no quality differences what so ever.. I'm confused.. and if I want a ribbon I should have gone for a head shot,should have gone for a head shot,should have gone for a head shot.. nope, no head shot.. 5.2 here I come.. :p I didn't have time to roam around the streets to get a good shot so slim pickings from my batch.. *sigh*

I'm SUPER worried about the colours.. There are some images that have solid colours/shadows that don't change with a different monitor.. This image is turning out to be not one of those.. It's a chameleon, I tell you.. Gah!!

And there should be another gallery.. taken from a car..

Thx!
I actually call the comment box 'dear diary' for this very reason :)

Nice image but something is wrong with levels. The black doesn't look pure black & has a more blue shade in it.
