Scanned from 35 mm neg. Comments on possible tweaks to make a better print are welcomed.

Thanks,

Very nice street shot.
Well seen.

Good street shooting, but needs a bit of tone curve extension. Like this.

Thanks, Christoph. I had framed the scene but it was my last frame on the roll and I was flying out later in the morning, so I waited for something to happen. I saw this fellow sort of dancing up the street and knew I had a good subject coming if my timing was on. I am pretty happy with it. I do wish I hadn't cut his legs off, but that is life.

Hi Russ-

I'll give that a try.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael - the shot implies he's imposting / mocking the relief behind him ... what makes it perfect ...

[michael ellis]

I saw him coming and guess that he saw me waiting with the camera to my face. He was dancing though from the first glimpse I had of him. Agreed, the contrast between his posture and angle relates to the sculpture in the background almost perfectly.

Thanks for commenting.

Michael
