 I'm not great at Candids. I always feel weird about trying to take people's pictures on the sly. We'll see how this one goes.

Nicely composed and good black and white. Wish his face would have been a little more sharp.

Seems a little off focus, not sure if that was intentional. I also feel like it would have been more striking if the subject had been pushed back to the left a bit but that's just my opinion. It is still a very piece, though.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

This is ok. Perhaps more focus on the man was in order. It seems the cameras focus wandered to the seating before him. I do like the tones, but I can't really grasp any real interest for me here. It's a 4 from me.

Good scene. Wish POV were a little lower but this works. A little too contrasty for me but it could be my monitor. Composition and DOF work well. 7

Neat shot. The fact that he wear's Nikes make it work for me.

Interesting fella; Strong composition, but perhaps missing a sense of detail, and without that sense of the perfect moment that would make the lack of it irrelevant.

Excellent work. For some reason, the shoes seem really incongruous. It's great.
