Comment only from a non-voting, non-member: In my humble, amateur opinion, this is a compelling image. Not sure it's street portraiture, but it's nicely done. I especially like the effect of the framing created by the diagonal blue jeans on the lower left mirrored by the diagonal line of the light on the top right. This diagonal border is nicely complemented by the line of the necklace flowing from lower left to upper right. Nice!

Comment only from a non-voting, non-member: An interesting rule breaker... having the subject leaving the frame. In my humble, amateur opinion, the composition is effective, but I would have liked to see the face be out of the shadows or at least brightened a bit.

Comment only from a non-voting, non-member: Hmm... What would four men (complete strangers to the photograhper) be doing in this location, dressed as they are? Whatever the answer, this photo is intriguing, but I can't really decide if the overall dark tone detracts from the whole effect...

Definitely my favorite for this theme.The blown highlights in the diagonal chrome in the lower left is the only distraction. Nice work!
