yea i actually took this a while ago when i had a konica minolta 8mp. no special lens or nothing or any knowledge of the basics of photography. had to edit the light on his face pretty good. I remember when editing this photo going back in forth over whether not to crop that telephone pole out or not. i ended up leaving it just becuase the wood looked cool ;)

These are all pretty excellent. Your choice of directing the light on the subjects is great, your composition usually spot-on. I don't know if you're particularly looking for critique on how to improve pictures like these, but I might have done something to enhance the focus of attention on your subject in a shot like this. The composition works great with his face right-of-centre, and the way the buildings sort of curve up to the left really balances things well. The background is important in adding context. But it may have improved this picture if you'd have framed it, or cropped it later, so that most of the area above his head is gone. You'll notice that the top of his head and the top part of the leftmost building are lined up, so a tighter crop, removing that big blank space above, might have really balanced things out well. The telephone pole particularly detracts somewhat, just because there's too much of it. I also might have used a shorter depth of field to make the background slightly out of focus, enhancing our attention on the subject.

Even the babies in your photos are smile challenged. ;-) By the way, welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay here. I'm interested to see more of your work from your part of town.

Very cool shot indeed. The editing and angle work very well.
