I need to call my buddy on my cell phone and see if he knows what those boxes on the wall are... Just kidding, is this a self portrait or a candid? Other than being a little soft its a very nice shot! Were you in a moving vehicle when you took this or is the framing a platform of some sort?

I am not going into any technical details. But I love the moment in time you have chosen to capture and I think you have a great eye. If you see things like this and work on shots, you will for sure capture great images. Well done. Best of luck.
This could be made much more appealing with some slight tweaking. A bit of sharpening, some toying with levels to give it more contrast and maybe a bit of noise, and perhaps conversion to black and white - I think these things would give the photograph more interest and a healthy dose of mood. The composition is nice, and the framing is unique.
I love this type of shots...simple, street, and almost abtract. Also, I love shots that have a alot of neg.white space....It's a wonderful comp....Hmm, I see the framing, little bit, needs more to fit the challenge...Not, saying it dosn't..just needs more...However, with this street shot. I don't think framing is nessassary anyway....ummm, with this shot, I see it needs more sharpening and the exposer seems overexposed....If I were you, I would simply re-shoot this place better focus and lighting adjustments, convert it to b/w...and have it for your portfolio. Not to sure about the (model) here..too..However, it is a street shot..you get what they give you...:) Umm, I would love to see a re-shoot....just an artistic way of say I do love this comp. Good luck.
