I managed to get a few shots of this gentleman without him noticing, for some reason i preferred this shot when he finally did notice me. I showed him the pictures on the back of the camera and sat and chatted with him for a while, he said he would like me to do them in black & white.
Thanks for the votes that i think have been exceptionally generous.

Congratulations - one of the best street shots I have had the pleasure of viewing .. and I agree with Melethia .. his reflection really makes this shot stand out.
I agree.. Lovely, and as always wonderful rich tones and textures.

I get lost in your images so easily. It feels like I become part of the shot immediately. Always engaging in the first 5 seconds, there is so much more to notice and ponder. Thank you.
WOw this is great, I completely forgot to vote on this challenge, and did'nt even get round to viewing any of the photos, but would've given this a 10. Another ribbon, great.
Wonderful portrait, strikes me as a jagar...signature contrast and compositional thought. The reflection is quite interesting in that the crutches are not present, as if we are seeing the man without the disability. It is this nuance that makes this a dynamic photograph, one to remember.
