Whats funny is, I knew this Berserkley before I scrolled down. Really like the comp.. Did you plan the "Jobs and Career" in the corner? Kinda ironic.

Nice work - especially in the processing. There is some sense of character, which makes a change from photographs of street people as a shortcut (and easy-cut) to 'gritty reality' for the masses.
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
A very busy photo of color. I would have toned all that down with a b/w conversion and attention to HMS. Good focus though. Looks like he saw the shot coming. It's a 5 from me.
I wonder if you cropped out the newspaper stands if he wouldn't be more powerful. I like his off centered placement and his hand caught in mid movement. 7
