Pros : Excellent Lighting, Eposure , Angle, Pretty Much Everything looks good but
Cons: The guys stance is OH SO CLICHE, Unatural , Kinda of Annoying like hes trying to look dark and dangerous, Any chance youve watched Saw lately ??

Other than the model I love this pic. Sorry if i ranted but ive just seen the hooded dark man done by so many wannabe disturbed teenagers.

Thanks for the reply,
The model was me :D i would not say model so much as person posing?
In any case. thanks for the comments, I have not seen SAW by the way. i have of course heard of it and it was in my mind as was Hostel.
i did feel a little strange but only due to being in town at 4:30 – 5am this morning.

If i had a little help i think i would have tried to make it a mid walking pose.

If its a menacing, spooky scene that you were trying to do, excellent job! It does look like shot from a horror movie, just before the bad guy is about to make another kill!

I love street photography. I’m just not very good at it. I really like the lighting and moody feel of this image. I think Oatesy had a great idea having the subject leaning against the wall lighting a cigarette. Nice work, Brookied.

I agree about the other pose. Leaning against the wall and that.

But apart from that, thats a great shot. Good conversion, composition and lighting.

Well done.
