A shot from my first day attempting street shooting. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go out lately and keep working at it.

The one thing I don't like is the top of the street cone bottom left. It's distracting.

It's distracting to you, because you've been staring at the photo for awhile. Between shooting, editing, and posting, we all get obsessed with things in our photos. If you're talking about the odd shaped flange at our right, photo left, then I don't find it distracting at all. Rather, I find because it's on that diagonal from opposite upper corner, it actually makes my eye travel into the photo more, and notice the shadowed person in the background. I think that flange adds to, rather than detracts from your image.

Thanks John

I had honestly gotten the idea it was distracting from another thread on this forum and started to think myself that it was distracting.

Saw him on my way home. He didn't want me to take his photo because he said he is an old man already and pointed to the children on the other side of the road. Told him I like the shape of his face and will not leave until he allows me to take a shot. With a soft grin, he whispered, "Go ahead."

Nice narrative along with a great face Stryker.
