Nice job Frank. I enjoy urban shots and do dabble in people photography - some say it is my strongest facet.
I am sure you will hear from people stating different perspectives and cropping. I consider a photograph that works as one that reminds me of the situation, the place, the circumstances. I am sure that you are happy with the results.

You really have to get -- in their faces -- with this one. Unfortunately, this lens, while fairly -- linear, does get soft -- around the edges - I don't remember the aperture, but it was -- likely around -- f8 or f11. -- -- Lemme know what you think, if you're so inclined. -- -- thanks, -- frank -- -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible -- worlds.
