I'm glad that you like it, chaba!
The guy was actually posing but I can't really tell for sure whether he was looking at the smoke or just half-closed his eye.

I don't know that I like the yellow cast and I am not sure how it fits into the theme. That said, this is a pretty nice variation on the typical smoking person pic.

It is a really nice image - however I think the shadow obscures too much of the face.

i like this image-cant put my finger on it-but i really do-well done

Nice image, very cool. Nice tones.

Congrats for another featured shot!

Lovely pic...but I had told you that before posting it here, didn't I? :)

Unusual roof,like miniTotoro for the foreground.

Really nice shot, composition and colors, everything is great! I love to look at this picture.

superb perspective, detail light and tones...great shot

This image has great composition... I love the idea. I only wish there was more focus and less shadow in the foreground.

Thank you all for your comments.

If I were to reshoot the scene I would change the focus point more to the foreground, step down more my 17-40 and eliminate that shadow.

Criticism really makes you see the mistakes you made and improvements you could have done.

I like the surrealistic vibe. The reflections really work well.

Thank you all for you comments.

Unfortunately I don't have another angles of the same shot but I'll try to make it a tad darker with more contrast and see how it looks.

Great shot!

Great capture. Great expression. Was he frozen like that or did you just catch it right?

He is one of those mimes that sit all day log pulling faces to passers by.

He noticed me taking his picture and goofed up a little. :)

a very good & authentic portrait.

I only wish there was a little more light under the hat - not easy to do unless you have the equipment and the time - otherwise love the natural light and subject. Nice work!

Wonderful candid portrait!

This is terrific - the lighting, the expression, the depth of field, the lot. Nice job.

Thank you all for all your comments!

I'm thrilled that you enjoy this!

This looks more like looking inside opposed to looking out!

I think the idea was right, but there isn't something interesting in the window when I look through it.

Could have been better from another angle maybe. I think it needs to be reframed.

Thank you all for your comments.

I thought that the inside of the house would be interesting by the warmth it suggests. I agree that the interior by itself it's not the most interesting ever.

Markus, how would you reframe it? From what angle?
