 Taken on the streets of Shanghai, China.

Probably gonna get some DNMC's on this one, but whatever--it's a portrait in my book, definitely of males, and I think it says worlds about their personalities.

The guy on the left eventually noticed me, didn't seem too happy about me documenting him...

More of a snapshot or candid than a portrait. Interesting anyway.

I'm sure you will get a bit of DNMC here, but I dig the feel. Whatever you did PP works for me

Lacks a wee bit of sharpness but this is a wonderful capture of interaction between humans. A pretty loose interpretation of a portrait but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Nice street shot-- not sure I'd consider it a portrait.

Would be better for this weeks challenge not last week's. Great shot but not a portrait of one or the other.

i think that in color, this could have been better. the background really blends with the guy on the lefts shirt which makes it tough to not look at.
