The Tourist* by Miguel Garcia-Guzman

San Diego, Califonia, USA

NOTE: Following advise from some people (including Joffun and Andy-thanks) I decided to replace the first image with this one. Different angle, and less halo around the guy.
Who is in our neighborhood? Well, during summer time lots of tourists are our neighbors ... not that many visiting this time of the year, although it looks like this guy (from NYC) missed the sun. I captured this tourist during the sunset last Saturday.

Hope you enjoy the image and remember when it gets cold at your place you can always come and visit San Diego.

Captured JPEG, post processed with PS-CS using levels, contrast and saturation increased +10.

Yes, I have images from a different angle, although the guy is not taking a picture, but looks indeed better. I posted this one because the guy was taking an image and it was a bit closer to the topic of the challenge. I took the image with the sun at his feet on porpoise ... and later after seen the other captures I regretted it (like you I would prefer to have it on the side).

Thanks for the feedback.

I really like this shot and would like to have seen it with the sun placed in the frame differently, perhaps to one side of the photographer. Did you take any photos from a different angle?
