 Thanks for the kind comments all. Typical South African man/builder who does not have a care in the world. I dont know what this man's mission in life is but came accross him close to the mall where there is much building/renovations. The pencil to me was just hilarious.

I find it a bit overprocessed and too saturated, but that's just my taste. Great timing and subject.

That pencil is really distracting, I can't pinpoint what's up with it but it looks different to the rest of the image. Sort of more vibrant. A good candid pic all the same, even though personally I hate smoking shots (personal preference alone.)
