One from walking around the city the other day
I really like the eye contact in this one. Also i'm learning black and white conversion using channel mixer.
C&C always welcome =)

As good a street shot as any I've seen before. Nicely done!

Excellent image, excellent. Tells a story which makes for a good image.

I like...the layers and the tones work nicely. The boy's gaze grabs your attention and holds it for just long enough!

Nice! In addition to what's being said (Which I agree with), I would suggest to try a crop into almost square from the left.

Thanks so much for the comments guys!
Surenj - I tried some different crops and as you suggested the square crop as i was a bit worried with so much black on the left side. I just felt that when i did this the image lost some kind of balance. When it's like this the eye gets pulled straight to the eye contact then it holds and after moves around. I found that when i cropped it square my initial gaze didn't go straight to the eye contact. Not sure why this was. Just a feeling i had.
Maybe i cropped it wrong =0)

I agree - I think the black on the left/bottom add to the depth.
