No problem, SATS. I like your reflection, and the way you put the tall light-colored building up in the corner. It's not a requirement that people must be in every street shot, and I think the "mister noodles" on the window gives it a connection to people and their behavior. I like the second shot as well. I'm curious. About how far away from him were you?
Thanks for that Voss. If I had taken the Mister Noodles sign full on, the white building would have been more in the middle (I think) and more of a distraction. The second was taken from about eight feet so far as I can remember. I was surprised it turned out so sharp for a grab shot. My exif doesn't give the actual distance but it gives a focal length of 12mm with a 4.6 crop factor so I guess that is about 55mm full frame equivalent. Here is the out of the camera original shot. If the guy on the right hadn't been looking away I probably would have left him in. I guess 7 or 8 feet. Personally I think it is a bit gross but life is like that and street is life, so...
