This is a lovely street shot, well executed.
I would prefer to see a higher contrast treatment overall, and I would crop space from the left to move the man further left and away from the centre. I think this can give the shot a bit more "pop".
I have done this in the mod Ive uploaded.
Well done

Hi again, this is another good image. I particularly like the low viewpoint - shot from the hip? It gives a detached, objective feel, and also gives the subject a strong, commanding presence.
Willie's crop does what I wanted to do, so that's saved me the work... By moving him to the left it effectively gives the impression of more space for him to look and move into.

I'd like to add my welcome to that of others on your previous upload, Dave.
I like the way you have the whole story in one frame....the chef, the cooking pans, the smoke and the sign, it tells us all we need to know, and you have your chef actively cooking some soul food.
You cleverly avoided having the smoke go across the chef's face.
The only change I would make is to crop the left to remove the part-person and the container. These are intrusions that you either need to avoid at the time of shooting, or remove later.
One other thing. If your image has a lot of black areas, as this one does, try not to choose a black EPZ background when uploading your image, because the outline of your frame gets lost. Alterrnatively, put a slim line around the image prior to upload.

Like this in general. My kind of image. It just lakes contrast in the top left quater and it's not smoke, I don't think. I wonder if you have been dodging in that area as if so, you nt a bit too far and it reduced impact. I would expect a richer texture to thechaps skin tones?
Still, nice work.
