Here is the second submission of the "summer in the city" series.

Comments, favorites and critiques are very welcome.

I hope you enjoy it,

Hmmmmmmmmm....
while I do like the lighting. and that hue of the sunlight does create a very nostalgic vibe--this photo---has me tilting my head like a dog confused.
while u mention this as being of the 'summer ' series...it feels more like a pre-winter shot.
While the composition is right on--the elbow in the foreground---just knocks the composition off. Its intrusive and does nothing for the film like quality that this moment presents.
The tones of the subject---come off too red for me...that is totally my own thoughts.
what would i do to change this?
I would opt to crop this from the left side of the mans zipper--yup--halving him---so that the one eye on ya...or towards the viewer---adds some mystery--while i know it will seem odd in diameter then--as the square format works good for this...
I wouldn't be happy with this--for myself...as is.

Ok, I don't know anything about photography, so my comment is going to be... simple.

I like it, because it makes me feel warm and it makes me remember those really cold days, but the sun is shining.

And I think this photo is great, because it wasn't... made: you just took it. I think.

Ich finde dieses Bild ziemlich gut.
Es zeigt einmal mehr die Skepsis der meisten Menschen gegenüber der Street Fotografie.
Das Licht ist super genutzt und kommt auch gut raus.
Ich würde lediglich einen höheren Kontrast nutzen, da das Bild in den dunklen Teilen durch das Gegenlicht etwas zu flau wird.
Einziger Störfaktor für mich ist der Arm unten links, der den Frame etwas "destabilisiert".
Street ist eine schöne Sache! Mach auf jeden Fall weiter damit. Gut bist du ja

So serious, eyes just glancing in our direction as the sunlight streams in and makes all the rest anonymous with its warmth.

Completely different atmosphere than the previous one... Gone is all the tension, replaced by mild curiosity, or so it seems.
