One of my favorite restaurants is in Munich around Marienplatz. Across the street an old building complex with wonderful textures. This man was relaxing as we were walking by.

Wow, a stunning black and white scene you have captured here.

This is excellent! Shot at f4, so not much DOF, but it goes well with whats taking place here. The focus is maintained on the subject. The bycicle in the background is blurred and moving, which works well.

I love his expression too, deep in thought, distressed, yet calm. Beautiful.

Good job,

-zeb

Hi Roger,

great shot. I like b/w choise. It seems that this man is lost in his thoughts, I like his face expression and background (that cyclist fits here perfectly).

Hello Roger,

I like the use of negative space to create excitement, in a composition where the main elements all are placed at the edges of the frame!
Contrasty B&W rendering works well with me, and image has a fine sense of depth...

Hi Roger,

beautiful image. Love your choice of composition.

Congratulations,
Romeu

Hi, Roger -
Excellent street scene with lots of good elements. The cobblestones, walls and stairs are all shown at great angles with nice details and textures. The blurred cyclist in the background is a nice touch. Good natural expression and posture on the sitting man. A good choice to present in monochrome. Very nice image.

A really fantastic b&w. I love this mans very relaxed pose and the surroundings are beautiful! Great job!!! TFS

Bonjour Roger,

jolie atmosphère fournie avec cette composition en noir et blanc.
J'aime bien la mise en scène de cette photo.
Joli travail.

Amicalement
Laurent

Great posrtrait and vry good composition.
Old walls and bricks on the floor look great. And concerned expression on his face only adds.
Very good work overall.
Sergey

Very well composed Roger and the conversion well done. God tones and the higher ISO worked well here.
David

i Roger - the high ISO, the expression, the composition, the setting, the bike in the background, the cobbles - all very appealling to me - quality shot, very well captured!

Hi Roger,

Superb shot! Perfect composition to make an area on his left side. TFS!

Regards,
Masroor

Nice streetphotography and composition.
