The main thing I wanted out of the L was the speed. I really enjoy the increase in saturation as well, which is pretty ironic since I do like to desaturate shots, as you see here! LOL! ~ Lonnit

So? Why you were not satisfied with your 28-135? This one looks superb

LOL! He looks like he raided his mums kitchen. Good on your for tossing him some money. I always leave a donation for street performers after I photograph them. Excellent shot!

Very nice! This image is really what I have in mind when I think about the street photography. The image tells a story and the toned down color scheme makes you notice his face and expression right away. Good job! Srf_Cast

The woman's skirt was very distracting and bright so I had toned it down to match the tones of the rest of the shot. I really didn't want to cut the edge off b/c it would have ruined the compostition, making him too centered. The desaturation was the compromise I had to settle on. ~ Lonnit

It looks like an "Are you looking at me" face that would make me point the camera elsewhere. Is it just me or is the woman on the right a little distracting and worth of cropping out? -- Richard

He also looks like the guy that acts on the second Cosby show.

Taht was actually a posing face! LOL! I felt obligated to give a donation in return for shooting, and he apparently felt an obligation back to the camera in return for the donation. :) ~ Lonnit

I just love this image. The guy has this "Ooops!, you catch me! face", lol!
