I took it last Saturday in Sydney. It only required minumum
adjustments out of the camara.I hope you like it.

I could write a page on why I like this shot and why it works so well, however I think its enough to say, the eye contact and the position of the man within the frame make this shot a very very good one. 2 thumbs up.

Thank you biggerry.

It's all about the eye contact.

I have nothing useful to say, except that I agree. Great eye contact and a great subject.

Love the eye contact. One thing to note though, is watch the background. There's a pipe running through the guy's head. Understand that if it's a candid, there's not much that can be done (nor am I suggesting cloning it out). One other way to control it is to open up the aperture to have less DOF and ensure that you have enough to keep at least the eyes and nose sharp.

Thanks, I did not noticed. But you are quite right.
The gentleman in question was performing in a
makeshift tend and I could come to close because
of the pople around me, also taking photographs or
onlookers.
