Very good picture of the older gentleman with sharp focus and good details of his feature, including reflection of the photographers legs. The BG is very distracting for its content and the blown out highlights. A Close crop will rescue the portrait somewhat. Pay special attention to BG when clicking. Regards, ifti

Well, Ifti has a point that highlights in the background are somewhat distracting, yet from my point of view the gentleman's gaze (direct - as far as possible through skewed glasses) and gestures are strong enough to attract viewers eyes. There is some coherence in tonal values and detail contrast of the man which sufficiently separates him from background - at least if we consider this a street photo rather than a classical portrait.

A tighter crop would probably cut off his left hand holding the cane - to me a key element characterizing the man and 'anchor' of the composition.

Best regards, Wolfgang
