Another excellent street portrait and a natural look, that's what I like with such candid shots. Perfectly sharp and the light is just amazing, you managed very well this low light shot. Sharp in the eyes and face and a dark blurring background. Congrats on a 3rd place in my contest, well done.

Well chosen framing, the square fits perfect and the cut is well done. As sharp in the eyes as it should be and interesting light management. I just love these close-up portraits and something different you show us. Congrats on a 2nd place in my contest. Well done.

Hard light can create a very special mood and this is very successful with this shot. The sailor is coming out of the dark. Excellent black and white conversion. Not looking into the camera makes it thrilling. Congratulation on a 7th place in my contest. Well done.
