Curves, levels, added saturation, dodge and burn.
Tiny little clone. Cropped.
Smart sharpen, added border.
Thanks to xion for border inspiration...
This shot feels like part of a movie for me..
I may have to create a still photography storyboard..

niiiiice. love the "widescreen" border you have here. it really does have that movie feel to it. good catch. the expression of the guy on the left is just awesome. lol
I like this a lot. Great composition, the colors are nice and good timing. Think it might be just a little nicer if the background were more out of focus, but I'm not sure.
Great expression from the passer-by. Was that a statue or someone dressed in silver paint? My guess is the latter. Some may not like the letterbox format but I do. Nice work.
Bumping up...the more I look at this the more it appeals to me. I like how it's cropped and bordered to look like a movie screencap, it seems like a very natural street shot. My only gripe is that the background is so busy, but I guess there isn't much you could have done about that ^_~
