Hot and humid today, and I took this candid with the sun high in the sky. I was struck by the bright red and green shirt of the delivery guy.

Cropped and decreased color saturation on everything except the delivery guy. Added vignette border.

I think that this guy was probably a standout before the desat work ;)

Nice that he's the only one walking toward you. It really solidifies him as the focal point of the pic.

Very colorful shirt he has on, makes you wonder where he delivers from. I love how many people are doing various things in all of your shots, they are always very entertaining!

I like how you made him stand out even more with the slight desat.

Wow I lkie the fact that there is so much going on in this shot (It would have made a great entry in streetscape challenge)

There is the obvious great splash of colour of the guy with the cactus t shirt on together with the chap on crutches as well as the general hubbub of life in a city. The thing that I finf myself drawn to is the woman in the black and white dress though who looks as if she may be about (in 5 steps time) just to walk into a wall

I guess the weird thing is that even on a city street how people like their own personal space and are keeping a distance from each other

Great job on this photo. Would be a good submission for upcoming Street. If you hide it now you could still submit. However... come to think of it.. you're fast becoming a total wiz at street photography in NYC - so you probably have something completely awesome to submit.

I like the way everyone else is rather dull and blaze' except for him. Nice shot with him coming toward the camera and everyone else going away.

What I really want to know is this - after you took the pic, did you end up passing the guy? I have seen a few of your candids now and I will say that I am too chicken to take pics of people for fear of what they might think. Did the guy even wonder what you were doing?

That is certainly one bright green cactus lol. I'm kind of pitying the guy on crutches tho.

do you ever look at shots like this and study each individual and wonder where they have been, where they are going, what are they thinking about? Or is it just me that does that because I'm nosy?

I like how you decreased the saturation - it really draws your eye to the delivery guy.
