Spent some time in Indianapolis doing some street work on Friday. I may have mentioned this before but, i just love street work. It's impossible to get payed for it but, it is just so enjoyable. I took this shot with a 85mm prime from the other side of the street. I love working with my prime lenses as it forces you to think about composition where a standard zoom has the tendency to make you lazy. believe it or not this shot was not cropped. for composition.... I could have taken a little bit off the left side of the pic but, I was just so proud of the way It was framed... so I left it in. LOL

Interesting that the two gentlemen just cross at the moment you captured the shot. Reflections on the glass doors create more interest.

A great Street-Photography. I can fully agree with your arguments to us a prime lens. In the last time i recognize that i use my primes more often. I am really interested to know how you get this beautiful toning in your pictures. Did you dragonize it ? Anyway, i like your very nice and professional photos.

@Harald: Not really sure what dragonizing is so I would have to say no to that question. I use a lot of adjustment layers and layer masking if that helps you. The toning was done with a orange filter...

Man, this is a really nice capture. There's a lot of energy being transferred by the walking guy and those impressive-looking brass doors.
