Perfect portrait! Excellent DOF and composition. Excellent tones. Perfect body language. Love the lines in the walkway. All around excellence!

Well seen. I like how the shadow and light on the ground reflects the dog's black and white coat =D)

los dos sujetos protagonistas parece que esten posando para tí.

@elmenut: Gracias por el comentario. Para mí el Sigma es perfecto para mis propósitos. Muchas veces cuando tengo el zoom en 18mm para sacar fotos generales de la calle, sale de repente un sujeto interesante como en este caso y no tendría tiempo para cambiar lentes. Encuentro la calidad óptica del Sigma suficiente, especialmente cuando uso el Smart Sharpen de Photoshop.

What a character . . and the guy looks like he could tell a tale or two, too! Super candid streetshot.

I saw this image after the one posted on the next day. This is even more beautiful as a B&W shot. Congratulations!

I like this image, in large part because of the contrast between the figures in the fore- and background -- the different between people who seem carefree and the man in the front who seems a little worn down. Very well seen.

@GJC: Thanks for your very perceptive comment, because I can see you're right about the contrast with the background figures. I must admit that I wasn't aware of that when I took it, but the body language makes it quite clear. A happy accident!
