"Sacramento" not only locates him, but also explains his lighter winter attire. Interesting catch, Marnie. Hope you're illness is left well behind.
Jack =========== Thanks, Jack. Not actually IN Sacramento, but Walnut Creek. Yeah, it was a grab. Line of cars with light about to change, so I only got one shot. He didn't like me taking his picture (which I don't blame him for, at all), so he turned his head. Which probably made for a stronger photo anyway. -------------------------- Good photo! Contrast ok for me, framing correct but since you're willing to clone something, I'd lose that part of the sign - the point beyond the rounded margin. No need to. LF ============ Thanks, Luis. See comments to frank, below. ------------------------ Okay, seriously, that's a hell of a photo! A nit (and maybe it's just me, and believe me this is a teensy thing). I'd have cropped out the bottom of the shield of the state highway system at the top left. And I'd have either cropped out the S of Sacramento or left it in in it's entirety. I don't know if you've shown us full frame or not, so perhaps it's not possible to show us the whole "S". I also think that if you put the whole "S" in there it might wreck the balance of the pic, so really I think that cropping it out in it's entirety might be better. I hope you don't mind, but here's what I'm thinking: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EaTEtfR4WJw/SXjshVuyNwI/AAAAAAAAFFE/MKuEYs2WRTY/s160 0-h/anything2.jpg Maybe I'm being too picky. It's a hell of a photo as you presented it!! cheers, frank =========== Thanks, frank. Yes, not full frame, it is a crop. Didn't get all of S, because didn't have a lot of time to frame and was concentrating on him. I might see if I can crop the rest of the S off. Although I like having more distance in front of him than in your crop -- he was trying to maintain his dignity and the distance helps with that. But since I cropped off a little top and sides, might be able to move the crop to the right a bit. I'll play with it. Thanks for taking the trouble to show me what you meant.
