Interesting confluence of opinions. I looked at the pics, decided I'd post and comment on the one I liked the most and its #41210752

I guess it stands out for a number of reasons - technically it has great DOF and (heresy Matt :evil: ) it conforms to the rule of thirds, artistically the subject matter is great and those boots top it off nicely.

I also really liked #41210754 - and I don't think that one's female!

And congrats on the concept - it's an interesting idea.

Nice series Matt. Candid stuff is fabulous.

The water in the fountain was obviously cold... :shock:

I can't get http://www.pbase.com/matt_k/image/41210752 to show up for some reason, so I've got no idea what to wear next time I'm in Siberia. Now what am I gonna do??:cry: :wink:

All the others were fine. I like colour in the cyclists shot.

All shots taken with the 80-200 f2.8 (push-pull zoom) and WB set to sunny -2.
The posted pics don't show the real quality of the originals, which are fairly jumping off the page. I think I need to spend more time learning how to convert for the web.

If you double click the empty box then it should revert to the thumbnails allowing you to scroll through without having to return to the forum URLs.

Some nice bums... errr... I mean subjects - there Matt :oops:

Nice and clear, and an interesting concept - to sit and let the subjects come to you :)

I'm mainly interested because they're very sharp shots. must have been a descent shutter speed while holding the camera on the old park bench.
