A worthy subject but I feel the composition is off though I realize we can't have it all in street photography.
I believe the subject is too close to center and the light pole running through the sign on the building bothers me.
If the man were standing right on the corner of if he had been shot straight on, I think it would have worked better.
The man is certainly what gets my attention. He has a very 'displaced' look - like he's from a different time or place. - TF

Sony/Minolta - way more gear than talent.
i also feel the man is to centered, although its close to working in this image. the light pole doesn't bother me as there are many other strong vertical lines spread through out the image ( building corners, the other post etc.)
I'm guessing MF here? I love the photo, nice grain to it. Good job!

George Zimbel: Digital diahhrea is a disease for which there is a simple cure. Take one frame of a scene. It is exquisite training for your eye and your brain. Try it for a month. Then try it for another month…then try it for another month…..
the mood/feeling of loneliness and the insignificance of man oozes from this photo and is almost overpowering.
Wouldn't change a thing. Beautifully captured.

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
I love this picture. The man is so vulnerable looking, and he has oodles of Charlie Chaplin appeal. The cane, the glasses, his patient stance, the coffee, the shopping bag, the mustache, all add character. He is patiently law abiding; most people would jaywalk on this deserted street. Too bad it didn't come out sharper, but great shot!

I was thinking exactly the same and then I read your post, funny how people can think alike this much.
