I was sitting at a red light when this guy was walking down the street I took two pictures of him. Luckily he just happened to stop and pick a penny off the ground.
I hope I at least get in the 5's with this picture I have been in a slump the last few challenges.

I like the composition. I do think the vignette/border detracts from the shot, though, rather than adding to it. It seems to have become a separate element rather than helping to emphasize the shot.
If the border is more interesting than the photo, it's a bad border. Anyway, a fancy border can't hide the fact that there's nothing really interesting happening here. The skill with a good candid is in capturing the spirit and epxressivenes of a stranger.
Nice capture - There is something quite captivating about this - Not too sure what it is as it has a few technical flaws and composition - Maybe I like the way we are looking as though we are seeing this from some hidden box due to the burning in at the edges.
not sure I dig the border. I can't help but to think that you took this from the smallest window of the stake-out van you were watching him in.
I like the title though!
