Fascinating as to how they do it. Great candid capture. Perhaps you should have waited until Saturday to upload Wink

Excellent shadow Ken, even with the street light! I do prefer the mono but the colour version also appeals.

glad you left the shadow in Ken the lamp post shadow looks like his seat, the mono seems to fit the character well i also like the colour as it shows more detail in the work he has done to achive the the look of the cloths.

Excellent in mono, and the shadow implies a seat which isn't there. Very good visual conundrum.

Great image Ken, I like the mono bestGrin These invisible seats are fascinating aren't they?
I am not saying the shadow should be removed but why would it no longer be seen as candid? I am intrigued.

another goodun Ken and I agree That the lamp should stay. It is the perfect link between the man and his shadow.

What a complete and utter waste of time - being a human statue I mean, not taking pictures. Grin I think this'd look good as a square with just the bottom shadow. In b/w of course. Smile

Nice shot Ken, gets the mind going and that's a good thing, Mono for me, it's great just as it is.

Prefer V2 Ken - love the bronze look. That shadow is deceptive - it needs to be there imo.

The colour version just edges it for me Ken, the streetlamp on his back in the shadow makes him look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame or erstwhile England footballer Peter Beardsley!Grin
