You picked the guy with the most interest out of the crowd, your processing and focus on this one is great.

[Leonie Mogridge]

Really like the focus on this mans face. Looks like he is paying attention to the speaker.

Great focus and light on this gentleman - the way it should be!

[Dana Palermo]

You are so brave to take a candid shot of a stranger. I'm always so worried they will catch me photographing them!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Terrific focus and light...he really stands out.

[Humphrey Hippo]

It does feel quite an intimate candid. Nice job.

i love this soooooo much. the light is wonderful. the bw works great enhancing a striking profile. the most affecting thing for me(just on the image alone), is that the whole crowd seems to have turned their back on the elderly disabled man sitting amongst them. kind of a reflection of the ills of society i think. this is wonderful northy :) double fav!!!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Wonderful shot & focus !!

[Dave Schofield]

I like this, I like the light and the shadows and all that stuff. I'd like to see more of his front, but he may have kicked off, he looks a sour arsed bastard so I don't blame you. nice black and white.

[Tanya]

[Caryn]
