I'm pretty happy with this result! No 1s, 2s or 3s, and almost a new PB. Not to mention landing right between Neil and tanguera...that's a good deal.

Many thanks to those of you taking the time to comment. I haven't had much opportunity for voting and really participating at DPC lately; knowing I can count on certain folks here to always be there with constructive criticism, or simply a compliment, is a great thing.

Except for a couple of minor modern elements, this could be a scene from 60 years ago. Nicely captured.

Originally posted by ubique: I agree with Lev and with tnun. This is a superb photojournalism picture Quincy. Congratulations on a wonderful, durable photograph. Thank you. ETA: Hope you won't think this a frivolous observation, but from a street photographer's point of view, a particular charm of this photograph is that these two guys share almost exactly the same nose! That kind of subliminal echo is what separates the extraordinary from the ordinary in our secret little corner of photography.

To Lev, ubique, and tnun,

While I already have a special connection to this image, as I feel it has been and continues to be the strongest entry in this aspiring PJ's portfolio, each and every comment I receive like this gives me a refill on inspiration. It's much more than just a "nice shot!"...it's like being slapped with a motivational hand to the face. For that, you have my endless thanks regarding your comments and compliments.

Thank you so much, jomari and Tanguera!

As for the framing mentioned in comment 1: it's pretty obvious so I'm not going to explain it further.
