For a shot in an airport it's pretty darn good. In terms of framing, the area behind his head is distracting from the subject matter. Especially the bright tones of the blue out the window. If most of that were cropped off while maintaining the original aspect ratio it would be better. As for processing, my screen isn't good but the shadow detail seems a bit lost. Post processing with LightRoom or Aperture could bring that up. I like the vertical bars on the left of the subject. Can't say why, though.
If you edit this for framing, keep the knee, hand and paper in the frame. They are key elements.

I liked this guy in Fenchurch Street today.

Personally I liked the one you entered in the contest more, perhaps because a little more of the figurine was in the shot. To be honest, it was one of my favourites from last week's contest although you have to take that with a grain of salt since I haven't taken the time to look up the meaning of the term "bokeh" yet.
I especially liked that it was playful but fashionable at the same time, like a caricature of a model, and also that it was clearly shot for the contest.

Thank you, kind sir - to be honest the main reason this photo was rejected for the comp was that I forgot to dust her!
You can see it on the top of her head if you zoom in.

Agreed - I was thinking of just going in close and cloning out the clouds.
Ultimately if you like a picture, then it doesn't have to mean anything to anyone else unless your trying to sell it.
I like it personally but I like "street" in b +w
Dale, (and others) thank you very much for your responses. I have followed these POTM threads for a long time and in my humble opinion there are some incredibly talented people on this forum. Any help or criticism at all especially from this group is always welcome and greatly appreciated! As far as this shot, I just happened to be waiting for my flight and something just struck me as I was looking in this man's direction so I snapped a couple of quick shots without him noticing....lol.
Flunky....sorry to sound silly but what do you mean by "Street"? Are you referring to B+W?
Thanks!!
Saw these guys in St Pancras Station this afternoon and thought that it was kind of sadly fitting that there was an Asian guy in front of them. Sign of the times.

That's me, inside, sitting by the fire, supping a pint of Seafarer (the Royal Oak, near Havant)... Cheers...
KitchenI don't know if it has an official explanation but i refer to street as anything taken on the street, or without them knowing.
Visiting cornwall for a few days, really struggled to get the tripod steady but first time attempting cloud like water with an ND grad. Very cloudy day so had to really play with the sky to get a nice picture.
hoping for the sun to come visit tomorrow so i can attempt again for st Michaels mount.
Comments welcome! Couldn't pick which one but as it's the same thing i reckon that'll be okay ;P
