Wow, that is definately unusual. Nice picture, good coloring.Only improvement I could suggest is to crop the empty space from the right, that would bring the man moving into the picture instead of moving out as it is now.

To me, this really says "City Life". . .street people meandering about. This is great. Tack sharp and vibrant contrast in colors. Good luck! I really love it!

Interesting portrait, would like to be closer in and reveal more of subject's face; plus environment doesn't reveal very much city here

This is a sparking good street photograph! As well as the stark composition-in-two-dimensions effect, which I like, there are several fascinating questions to engage the viewer. First, obviously: why that hat? Then there's the thing in his mouth - is it a whistle? Why? And the walking frame - it's in immaculate condition, and is of the type used by infirm or disabled people, yet he doesn't look like that at first glance. But he's not actually walking, is he? He seems instead to be standing still with his legs crossed, which is inexplicable. So who, and what, is he? He's certainly not a homeless person (walker, watch, clothes, grooming, etc - plus he's passing by a big bag containing valuable aluminum cans, without a glance). There are so many ambiguous and bizarre aspects to this subject that the viewer may conclude that the photograph is a deliberately staged absurdity. Yet I don't think that it is!
Is it a "City Life" photograph? Yep; it's got to be. Everything's possible in the big city, even this.

hahaah i love these random people shots, it totally sums up city life! in my opinion this would have been better if the subject was not centered but more towards the right of the frame. i like the border you added

Nice capture. What city would be complete without characters like these :)
Good detail and candid feel to the shot.

From the Critique Club

A nice capture for Season and well composed. I think the problem is your photograph looks flat in the reds loosing a lot of detail. As one commenter said it is very hard to capture reds, particularly the highlights.

You filled the frame well and IMO I think you did a good job. Sometimes photographs are just had to take in certain situations and lighting and I think that happened here. I give you props for a good attempt. Keep up the good work and continue shooting. I wish you the best in up coming challenges.
