[Leica] -4C in Boston

[scleroplex at gmail.com (scleroplex)]

dear alastair,
thank you very much for your kind analysis.
i totally agree.

the reason for the blur is because i forgot to switch back to shutter
priority at 1/1000 after changing to auto to take a quick picture of a
female cardinal stuck in a van's radiator grille.

this one -

plus i was rushing to cross the street before the walk sign disappeared and
i wanted to take the picture with the cigarette to the lips.
also he was sitting with his face deliberately in the shadow of the
lightpole.
as someone who gets migraines i totally understood him not wanting to stare
straight into the sun.

i posted it to LUG even then simply because here was a person without any
legs,
sitting outside in Boston at -4C.

best wishes!
bharani

1. love this shot. great composition and use of the square, the shrouding
smoke really adds to the effect nicely

2. lovely scene, fine record

3. Blurred. Looks like a hasty snap, shadow breaks the lines of the image
and degrades it IMHO

4. nice, but not overly engaging. Number one is the pick of this for me
