In his own little world...

    Shot this in a busy street. The man seemed a bit out of place amongst the shouting hawkers, honking of the cars, seemingly lost in his newspaper. I thought about asking him to look up at me but decided a candid shot would work better this time. What kind of street photography style do you prefer?

      Fantastic candid portrait... It always works best to capture people in their comfort zone, unaware of the camera, IMO... :)

      Perfect subject matter -natural and relaxed -not at all 'posed'. I really like the colours in this one, too. You are braver than me in the matter of taking 'candid' shots!

      Excelent color tones. I think you should remove the vignette on the right.

      Great candid street portrait. I like the fade away to the right, it enhances the sense of isolation.
