Simple and telling composition. In your other Captain America shot, I wish I could see more of the motorbike. Also, your copyright caption looks like etchings on the wall in that photo; I find that distracting. "Antique Man in Blue" doesn't do anything for me, though the subject looks interesting. I took a quick tour of your site, and also enjoy "Man with Doll" very much. Generally speaking, I find the contrast on your photos too low, and as such are not the best showcase for the lenses. You also make me very curious about the idea of "photoethnography".
