One of a series of candid shots I snatched at the Mehane Yehuda market in downtown Jerusalem. It was pretty late in the evening, so thank G-d for reasonably bright artificial lights and my 50mm f/1.8 lens :).

Well, I said I would eat his hat if this didn't make the Top 20. No one's gonna hold me to that I hope. I thought this photo may have been taken in New York, you see, but here's the thing: I just don't have the funds to go tracking this guy down in Israel and besides, he probably likes his hat.
Adding to favorites. Very nice composition. From the colors and clarity, to the human interest factor. I'll eat his hat if this doesn't make the Top 20. Best of luck!
Good candid portrait, although outside of the light I don't find it very absorbing. It seems a very disengaged image - we're not close enough, not involved enough (in fact, the activity perhaps is just too ordinary) to be completely drawn in - and also there's nothing, compositionally, to add punch or fascination. Still has its strong points - detail, colour, light etc.
