I like how he's checking you out. And he seems so out of place in a way - like in some lovely central city park somewhere.

The picture really lacks impact and the B/W is too dull and lacks tone.

Looks like he got loose and is just meandering along a park area. I love that he's looking right at you mid step.

Great contrast and I like the letterboxing. Many people don't, but I really do. I wish more people did, becasue I would use it myself a lot more.

A good photograph but I feel unbalanced as I look at it. I know your horizon is straight but it has that feel that everything is going to fall to the right. However you did a great job with light and processing it to black and white.
