Wow, this is really neat. I also think it tells a story. He looks like the kind of man who waits outside the store, anxiously waiting for his wife to come out of JC Penny or something because he hates shopping........that's just what it made me think of! :o)
I like the way you have blurred out the background to bring out your central figure. I love the sill moment in the hussel and bussle of the every day life. Top shot!
This photo really gives the feeling that this guy is in his own part of the world. If that's the feeling you were going for, well done! The lighting looks good to me. It's perhaps a hair too soft for my tastes, but I agree that there has to be that bluriness and softness to achieve the purpose of the shot. Nicely done!
I love this. His gaze is so direct and yet he is in such a relaxed pose. I don't know if I like the soft glow effect so strong all around him because if contradicts what my vision says I should see. Mainly, the post isn't moving but the effect makes it seem as if it is moving. If that was your intention, it's ok, just letting you know how I see it.
