I just realized I have never left a comment on this out-standing image. Excellent candid study. Love the catch lights in his eyes and the pp work you have done here.
great capture...very nice...the clarity is great..I see these homeless people all the time, and I try talking to them , just to see what goes through their head, and I realized that they are very simple minded people who trade in a set of circumstances for another.
tho, i see no real connection with rain besides his hand position, it is still a nicely done image.
The fact that his hand position can speak and say, "ahh, he's feeling for rain", make this photo as strong, IMO, as any photo where you can see rain or raindrops. Also. the ground is wet :)
he has a paintery feel. I know thats not a word but you get my meaning, yes? D&B? He is so set apart from his background it looks like 2 images stuck together. Love the lighting. Crop, composition hues are well done. 8
very nice, I think it looks a bit over processed though... neat image? seems plasticy (is that a word?) an excellent capture, and one of my favorites. I would like to see it grainy and gritty though, makes more sence in my mind.
As a street portrait I like this very much. The pose works absolutely to bring it into the challenge (not suggesting it's a posed shot, but you know what I mean). The processing and depth of field is exemplary, exposure and tonality, escpecially in that green shirt, marvellouslly clear.
Really good candid portrait, and a very clever incorporation of 'Rain' ... the look of uneasiness on his face speaks volumes about how the rain is going to affect him. A well conceived & executed image. 8
I love the dark urban filter. The light and reflection behind hinm is really good, not to mention the light on his cheekbones and arm. Really really nice city shot. I might crop just to the left of the light reflection to eliminate that red sign but maybe that was your intention. EIther way, it is really a great shot.
