Free walk to Belfast - fabulous prize!

As another Irishman might have had it, it's a cracker. Shame about the hat though - it casts a shadow over the eyes

I've dodged a little under the hat - any better?

The first version for me Seamus.  A cracker.  For me the context is the revealing extension of the man.  Altering the tonality to look like a press-release hand-out does nothing for the dialogue contained in the image.

I think that's better. Others will no doubt disagree

Another cracker. First one for me. It is natural for shade to be under a brim.

I rarely take street portraits and I'm not sure how you negotiated this one - but it works for me.

Really like the way he leans into the photo and I guess the pavement eventually leads to Belfast.

Good One.

On reflection, I was wrong. The first one's just fine
