love it, definitely one of my favourites so far (as I slowly wade through the high quality of images on this site), I may be a bit biased as I like street photography I guess, but still a great capture.
If I could I'd rate it a 10. |

If there are no models involved, then beware the man in the hat with the dark coat. I think he means you harm. ;-)

Jean-Jacques,
I keep coming back to this photo again and again, and I am always amazed by this shot. It is truly stunning. I can only imagine the delight you felt when you first viewed this on your screen.
Looking at your scores for this challenge it escapes me why other voters could possibly give you anything less than a "5". If it was possible I would have given you a 12. I cannot imagine why any voters could view this remarkable image and not recognize an image containing beauty, talent and technical brilliance and still give a score of 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Candid street photography can be a very rewarding photographic vocation when you can train your eye and hone your reflexes for that extraordinary shot.
Please keep perfecting you craft and inspiring us all to do better.
Regards |

To all those that wanted this cropped - I think it would have ruined this shot. The crop is perfect as it is. You start out, instinctively, looking at the bright background. It grabs your eye first. Then you look down and start looking at the crowd and then you see him - the man - staring back at you. You feel surprised, shocked, and maybe even guilty.
That's why the crop works.
Great photo JJ! It reminds of what an honour it is to have shared the front page with you at least once in my career. |

How you managed to take a picture of a crowd and have only 2, maybe 3 people look directly at you is amazing. There's so much to look at this picture and, yes, it demands a viewing that is "3.4x" longer than the average photo. ;) After posting this I'm going to go back and look at it some more!
The dodge and burn is very well-handled here! I think in this case a shallow DOF would've hurt the image because there is so much to look at here and I want to see it all!
Well-deserved 10's, well-deserved 9's, well-deserved blue! A definite favorite! Congratulations! |

| This photo has a perplexing eerieness to it. The returned gaze appears quite threatening and seems to be reinforced by the shade of the subjects coat. It's pretty much the darkest object in the picture. It perfectly suits the "singled out theme" Excellent job! |

| Having the shorter people in the foreground really aided the impact of this shot. It really is one of those images that after viewing it stays with you for awhile. While I was looking at the mans face I got an eery sense of being watched. That it was I, who was the one being singled out. Freaky. Congrats on the win. Fabulous Entry! |

| I commented during the challenge but I want to add this: This is a photo that you have to look at for at least 3.4x longer than the average photo. As I'm sure you know, there are several interesting characters in this captured moment: Guy with tinted glasses, guy with untinted glasses, the mysterious tall person walking away from the camera, guy in the very forefround, woman looking up, the guy in the distance thinking you should not take his picture ... I definitely think the European location allows for a more classic and interesting look considering that there are no baseball hats or Oakley sunglasses. OK ... it's about you now, not my rambling. Congrats. |

The master is back; maybe he never left...
What I think is really masterful about this shot is the way there is focus and out of focus people, blurred and sharpened, burned and highlighted, and perfect placement of the people that have the good expressions on their faces; and, you didn't go overboard with the contrast make the whites ivory and midnight blacks; the balance and gray tones add to the jumble of faces and staring eyers on center.
You don't need me to say it, but great shot! |

| For the "Tribute" challenge, I was studying famous photographers and their styles. After being on net for few days, going through hundreds of photos, when I came back on DPC, I saw the top three photos for "Singled-Out" challenge. I can't believe how close these photos are to the photos from the 'legends' which I have been studying in last few days. "Eye Contact", "Girl .." and "Dressed .." are all just "wow!" (though I feel better title would have complimented "Dressed...") |

| Welcome back JJ. Glad to hear that I was correct in assuming this was a candid street shot and not a posed model/friend standing in a crowd. DPC likes candids of people they think look like Robert Deniro. This photograph from you is as masterful as usual and I'm proud to have been one of the first people to add it to my favorites. |

JJ, You once again have amazed me. Stunned me beyond words. I did not vote on all these entries because of time constictions but if I had you would have gotten my first ever 10. This shot is simply stunning. There is a story here to be told. A feeling that is almost universal. It sends a shiver down my spine. You have given me a gift. If anyone ever asks what my all time favorite DPC shot is now I have a choice. It is this shot.
Kudos

You have a couple of 2s, 3s and 4s, oh well...
I love this shot. I'm so glad it won! Brings back the good feeling about DPC not losing its sense of quality photography. |

| 8 - Good. Like the b&w/toning. Criticism; the white car in the background detracts, but fairly minor. If the main subject was more prominent, 'somehow', whether this could be achieved in pp with contrast/etc, who knows, but if the gentleman 'popped' out of the crowd just a bit more, make this even better in my opinion. Also, dependent what you had to work with, if the subject was more centered, with a little 'more' bottom and right incorporated into frame (and possibly 'less forehead' at the bottom), may also have made this even better in my opinion. Up to 8 from 7. |

I love this image and it's processing, though the challenge was specific that a person be singled-out from by minimal depth of field.
His look and the focal point are superb! |

| Captivating...like an adult version of Where's Waldo. The B&W is stunning and well done, and the deep DOF, rather than the shallow one seen in most other shots here, gives us a lot to see. It's gonna be tough, but I think you have a good shot at the top prize. Regardless of whether you get it or not, this is still one hell of a shot. |
