The smoker

Life is too short to let these moments pass. also love the placement on the side of the frame...., I don't know what compositional rule explains this, but guessing that breaking the principle of giving the subject space to look into is source of tension-giving life.

Great capture Martin! I hope he didn't come over and harm you after you took the photo. Best regards, Patrick

Well caught! Bet the guy was really a sweetie :)

Nice bw result. Very well done. Congratulations. Roldao

What a lovely face! "Old age is not for wimps!" as Betty Davies once said...

Absolute tops! One of the most striking street images of human life of this quality I have seen in a long while. Mentioning the exceptional DOF is already redundant in such a wonderful capture and composition. DG

@Wayne: Thank you:) There are some different things i could have or wanted to make difference if i had been able to, like maybe having more space behind the man and not have to crop tight. But too much was distracting around him i thought so in the end choose this crop and was happy with it.

@Patrick C

Thanks a lot. haha no i managed to avoid that fate thankfully ;) he actually did not see me but he looked my way right after i took the shot so i managed to get "away" with it.
