Taking a candid shot was much harder than I thought. I found it to be very challenging to get the courage up to photograph complete strangers and even harder to do it in a way that they didn't notice me. But here it is...I took this shot from pretty far away so I apologize in advance for the grain.

Spectacular photo! The darker foreground tree and the lighter background tree give the photo so much additional feeling. This picture leaves makes me introspective like the subject appears to be. There seems to be a story behind this and I find myself wanting to know more. Black and white was a great choice.
I love the mood in this photo. It's a little bit busy, but the texturing of the leaves is very nice, and the scale of the man with respect to the trees adds to the mood, so perhaps this is the best framing for it after all. Nice black and white.
Lovely shot. I love the b&w and the soft focus. I like the composition and the fact that you did not do a close-up for this shot. The distance of the subject lends to a feeling of solitude. Very nice. lhall-
