Wonderful wonderful shot!
Great job.
Awesome composition and great inclusion of the one looker!

You've caught a great moment in this image. I also like the tonal range in this one. Well seen and photographed.

Mark,

Nice shot in a situation where the lighting looks a little tricky - the subject matter really holds the interest of the viewer. One of my favorites.

Cheers,
Jon

very interesting.the fact that only one person is looking at the camera really make the indifference. very good shot.

good one!

What a perspective!
A fine,alert eye you have there Mark.

Whew - well seen and well executed. Wonderfully interesting and a great view.

Best,
Jon

Best,

Sad, happy, depressed, joyful! Many feelings in this picture and that is what I like.

Every picture tells a story,don't it?

saw this on your blog.. just lovely.. and a nice idea with the framing, its very different :)

It took me a minute to figure out what this was, but I like it very much. Very clever idea.

Very cool... oooks like a snake :)

Beautiful cobra ;-) I also like very much the X-processing.

Very strong photo. Beautifuly painful, if I may say so.

La tristeza de la cara y el hematoma del ojo derecho del niño, transmite la crueldad a la que está siendo sometido. La imagen borrosa de segundo plano transmite bastante inquietud. Gran fotografía de denuncia Mark.

Amazing light and shadow.
Bead highlights are really nice as well.

Hey, save a bite for me!!. Very cool Mark!! Was this "on the street"?? The light on his face feels warm, but the light from the flame feels cool??

Clyde, you know better to ask if my images are taken 'on the street!' Come on man...
This guy is a local street performer at Fisherman's Wharf. I was milling around there early this year lamenting that I had not been out shooting for a while and was itching to shoot. After getting diddly,, I saw him and listened as some teens were harassing him. So I took this shot and told the teens to 'shut the $uck up or try it themselves.'

The flame is white simply because that is how it appeared in real life. He must use a non petroleum based flammable to prevent a bad taste in his mouth or worse. Very little smoke comes off the flame.

wow, this is fantastic night shot, in the dusk. good job.
