This is splendid Chris - well worth opening up as all the subtleties of your DOF play become obvious and delight the viewer. Excellent cropping of your main subject here giving here even more power.
Top notch street work,
Francis

For a very long time I don't come to TE, there are some nice shots, this one called my attention, you did a good corpping and framing with the girl on the right, adding some colour, and of course the caligraphy adds a regional taste to the photo

You have a keen eye Chris, and your play with focus is good too. I like how the main subject the girl in the pink dress is really the focus here. It could have been tempting to go for the caligraphy. If I could nitpick, I would have brought the cmaera down just a fraction and included her shoes and cropped her and the mans hair. Nice street work

Ciao Chris, this picture is splendid. I agree with Savask that the mistery picture is intriguing but what a pity that you could not know what the guy is writing on the street... How if the guy was writing poetries? I tried to ask to a chinese friend of mine and let you know, if you want...

I just talked to my colleagues. Indeed the guy is writing some poetry. However, the purpose of his writing is to show his caligraphic skills. Writing such beautiful ideograms is an art!!
