I really like this shot. It says Big city life all the way, it's simple and I think the composition is excellent. I would have given it a ten, but better care in the editing needed to be taken, the halos around the person really stand out.

Figure seems to have a strange white outline; narrowly cropped; would like to see more of his face

I like to mood of this shot. Also the reflection in the cab adds to the "city"feeling.

Comment by lkn4truth:
The composition needs a little work. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is a little below average. - 4

Comment by TheLittleIsland:
Why did you title it dropping out? I see no indication that that man has dropped out. Judging just from the title and the image, this seems slightly racist. but the image itself is fab 6

Comment by ubique:
This has great potential. He's a terrific subject, well framed between the taxi and the road markings. The composition is nicely sympathetic to the point implicit in the guy's body language (and explicit in your title). And of course, it meets the challenge topic well. The processing, however, is perhaps not chosen to get maximum effect out of the image. It seems grainy, flat and muddy for no apparent good reason. The potential drama of the scene is thus diminished. Something sharp and stark, but with a rich tonal range, would have been more suitable, I think. But even so, the several positives do outweigh that one negative.
Just dropped back in (sorry!) to add a further comment: The use of negative space here is very instructive. The big blank area of road behind the man is an essential part of the meaning of this image. He's dropping out because he has no reason to not do so.
