"Thanks Ya'll" as we Texans say. I love feedback, especially objective feedback.

Narrr I don't do "objective" ... it's stunning and I love the toneal range.

Fantastic street shot, much more challenging with a 4 x 5 I'd imagine. I think I'd make the final print with more contrast for a bit of harshness, this neg scan is almost too smooth on my monitor.. Beauty among the trash!

Very appealing. Your subject portrays style and attitude, which I imagine you must have worked to achieve after all the settup up of a 4x5. Personally I find the truck a little distracting, and a bit of bokeh may have been beneficial imo.
The phone contributes nicely. Best, john.

Your right about the trunk, unforturently these are all enviromental portraits and the background is beyond my control. My lighting couldn't wait an hour or a day till the trucked moved. Anyways I agree about the truck, wish it could have been a building.

Navadon, perhaps a shallow depth of field could have help with the truck. Then you will have gained a white background against which the subject would contrast, but without it distracting as much.
