    Starbucks - Hong Kong Style

    Hi All,
    The shot does not have a strong composition but I was intrigued by the guy's body language. Welcome all comments.

    good depth, the stools offer a nice lead in to the guy, and I love his folded arm pose. I think this probably needs to be seen large to really appreciate it, as there is a lot of detail - but once again you've captured something really pleasing here.

    I would love to see framed versions of your street shots exhibited together, I think they'd make an interesting document of life in the city. Always a pleasure to see a new one

    regards,

    matt

    Its great ! This is the Yoyo i like !! shooting pics of life as it is. With that posture i would assume he is not too pleased to be the subject. Once went in to our fruit market and was snapping away when a rough looking bloke asked was i from the dept of unemployment !! Letf pronto.

    Hi payn, Thanks for the kind words. You are always welcome here.

    Hi Matt, Thanks for the analysis and encouragement.

    Hi Kelly, The guy did not yell but just stared at me. I continued to shoot later and he was back to work. It is interesting to shoot photos like this because I can interact a lot. The experience is always rewarding.

    Hi Bobby, Thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you like this shot. Are you in Dublin or in the US?

    All the best.

    makes me want to go get a coffee. There is so much action in the shot, good depth, and I love it in black and white.
