I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

This appears to need slight rotation to level. Looks good in B&W.

Great to finally see a face to go with the name Sean! Nice detail and texture in this shot. Don some flowing locks and you can pass off as Samson :) Looks like you're toting a Crumpler over there......

Yup, you taught her well. Cutting your feet off like that was a master stroke;)

Seriously, I really like she stopped down here, maybe to get the light but Bokah'd this baby wouldn't have worked so well. The curve and clarity of the background is excellent. Good exposure for sure. I'm sick about that Geekstar too. Looks perfect :confused:

Love the shot. Wish you shot it vertical instead.

It would not have worked as well, the street's just as important as i am to the shot. They're have been less of done portrait

Cheers

Nice one, Sean!

I like it shot horizontally. Works better, IMO because of the outstretched arms. Plus, if it was shot vertically you'd probably have had a blown-out sky.

The only thing I'd do is rotate the image CCW by .25-.50 degrees (look at the vertical lines).

Nice pic. I reckon having it a bit darker/contrastier would make it look a bit 'harsher' - this is a machester back alley we are talking about, exaggerate it a bit ;)

Nice pic. Shame about the manbag tho :) :P

Shot not needed ... just the thought of someone in a trenchcoat is enough :p
