Just saw this man as I was getting into my car, and snapped 2 successive shots of which this is the first.

Post: I did have trouble with the colours, but I still like this a lot. The "pairs," suggested by a friend, are the trees and lamps, and the man and whomever his bouquet is for.

Different crop, BW, which I think much better:

Candid street shots make such nice images.

Nicely composed and a great candid shot. I like the geometry (the white grid in the building was the very first thing to catch my eye). The colors seem to "bleed" a little bit, and the focus isn't quite what it should be; my temptation would have been to do this in black-and-white. Nice job overall, though.

I like candid shots like this where you can find people doing their own thing, totally oblivious. This makes me wonder what the guy's up to - a date perhaps? I see a slight greenish color cast on my monitor; I removing that could make this a stronger image.

quite a find :-) Does he have two bunches of flowers in his hand. He might have but I can't see.
