    I like it but the washed out bricks in the upper left are a bit too much. The "Open" sign is also a bit washed out. Would this have been a little better if you were a few feet to your left when you shot?

    I like the angle very much. I think it would be better if you had the gentlemans feet in the shot though. Nice work Don.

    Taken from a bus. Beggers can't be chosers. I would never have shot this without the protection of a bus.

    I know what you mean Don. The last one I posted was in a pretty bad part of town.

    Don, I actually like that picture. Of the "bus window" shots that you've posted, this is by far the best, IMO.

    There are drug deals going on in the same area I am in at times. And I am carrying a camera. Think about it. Sorry Don. I am not hijacking a thread or getting to far off of the subject of critiques. I like this one and can relate.

    I love the general composition, the subjects and the "mood".

    The blown out bricks, not so much......but it is a great image even with the bricks.

    I agree.

    The gentleman looks like an interesting character. Nice shot.
