Ah yes, New Yorkers always with a smile of greeting Very cool street shot Lazlo. Lots of potential strories here methinks.

you sure do have a knack for capturing folks and folk scenes; I'm envious!

It's a great scene, well-captured, but I'm as impressed with the technical aspects. Perfect sharpness, contrast, depth of image. Even in this "unprocessed" image, looks like you got it just right!

Nice capture Lazlo, I like it.

Is that some burn marks just to the right of the bearded/hatted man though?

Nice one Lazlo, many stories here.

Immediately noticed the depth and clarity on this. Wow!
I see a lot of street photography that doesn't speak much to me. You know, shots of people on cell phones, and generic things like that.
You really seem to have captured the essence of what it can be, however. This is something to aspire to!

I love this shot. Very nice.

One of the best I have ever seen

As others' mentioned, the depth of the photo is really great. To that end, though, I would shorten the crop from the top left to come down closer to the top of the $ sign and eliminate the 1/4 person on the extreme left. I think that would work because the guy in the left background is looking toward the foreground, which draws the viewer's eye into the center.

You are a Master.

Cosmopolitan New York. Your photograph is a stunning shortcut, Lazlo. An urban meli-melo of different cultures. Love the clarity of this shot.

Lazlo your vision and the photos clarity are a winning combination. one seldom sees or encounters a street scene like this in photograph. Great job. Take care. Bob

What a beautiful image. Very sharp focus on the people that "count" and softer focus on the background. I guess I just could have said dof. The contrast is great.

Very Nice!

Thank you Scott. I used 80-400 mm lens with it at the long end.
