Well, it reminds me of images of Diane Arbus considering the guy himself! I assume that the city is *the* place for the interesting person, or even for that special kind of excentric person that makes an image strong.
I find the way you kept the surroundings darker very intriguing since this puts an additional spotlight on him. Which is complemented by the presence of countless details on hom, while the rest of the scene looks rather "easy".
Another great work!
Nick

Not quite sure what to make of this guy Avi, he looks a bit like a comic book superhero gone wrong. Can't resist this shot, especially given his surroundings.

ohh.. u mean what I talk to Deb and Nilanjan ?? Ok, that's easy to share. To Nilanjan, I was saying, that I used the PS 'burn' tool. In the original image, there was a guy to the right of our man, and another sitting on the stairs. And then there were some bags behind the guys feet - all these I 'burnt' out ('jaliye' means 'burnt' !! LOL..)
Deb, on the other hand, was with me when I took this shot that day. In fact he was CLOSER to this guy. In fact, he even spoke to this guy. Here's Deb's shot:
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1355406.html
To Deb, I was saying therefore, while you were at it (that is shooting his picture) from the side, I did it from the front, a little distance away.
Hope it all fits in now !!
BIG HUG !

Yes, Avi, but the burn-outs don't look like burn-outs - they do not "invade" the image. This is why the image retained its integrity and didn't evolve to some kind of patchwork.
I did receive your email, and I reply it today. It has been only a bit too busy here.
All the best,
Nick

I've seen this performer, he's very interesting. The photo works well with the rear column, strong but subordinated to the subject assertive stance.
Bethesda Fountain, in Central Park, is a magical place. It's been used in many films, from HAIR to Angels in America.

The framing is creative and background sufficiently out of focus to put the subject into relief. There is certain drama in the pose, eccentricity of subject contrasted with conservative architectural features.
