I think you upped this a bit. He's still surrounded with grey though. I like it.

K you seem to be taking the topic too literally. I think a bit of contrast would be ok too. Very evocative, sympathetic portrait. -tv

This is what I expected of this challenge. It is clearly flat light which I feel is much different than diffused light. -Doug

That's strange Mary Anne as the tonal range here looks very small & flat as though it hasn't been PP. Maybe Konstantin was being too literal with the flat light topic as this looks way too flat for me. The subject & composition works really well though.

The range of tones is wonderful here, not to mention the subject and composition of the picture. Just a little niggle here...I would LOVE to see a bit more contrast and sharpness in his face. But it's still a great shot!

... but not just ANY pedestrian... glad you're having some time to shoot. This is a good one - love the greys. Penny Street
