A candid of an old guy sitting in an armchair on the street. Had to take from across the road inbetween traffic. Cropped quite tightly, a competition only shot.

This is cute and it has impact. The screening of the image made some burnt spots in the shirt. Reducing this effect would make it very excellent (maybe if the hat wasn't cut off, it would be better, too).
At first, I wasn't crazy about the saturation. The more I look at it though, I get an old world sense to it. I like having the subject in the chair - it works.
Interesting processing. Not my favorite style but different. Cool chair and great subject. Not wild about some of the colors....some are flattering, others aren't, but the overal feel of the shot is very nice. I'd love to see some close up portraits of that interesting face in the future.
great model, i am sorry that the top of his cap and left elbow are cut off, makes the composition seem un intended. In a more spacious framing the modle's tilted seat would have added to the style, with the framing so tight, it hurts. Anyway, I like the shot and the slightly washed out colors you used, I hope it does well since there is a ton of personalty here, and i like the old world feel.
