Default Braving Street Photography & Portraits of Strangers

Should I crop some off the top of this image? Not sure.
I also have a B&W version of this, but why I kept this coloured version was due to the strange colour glow on this man's body. He was the most fascinating gentlest souls I have come across in years.

People Photoshoot - the coconut man.

you could take a bit off the top but I don't think it makes it particularly stronger. It is a captivating image with either crop.

The "dutch angle" doesn't quite work for me here, and it has a decidedly green cast to parts, but overall it's quite an interesting portrait and cudos to you!
