Coney Island Conman

On my first visit to Coney Island I ran into this gentle man. After throwing $2 worth of darts at some baloons, he told me I owed him $25. Needless to say I didn't pay him, but instead ended up with a nice shot and a stuffed fish.

    You know what, this is brilliant. You've captured the essence of this crusty old carney dude. Colors are as vibrant and electric as the world in which he operates. And the composition with it's moving hand, displays the death grip he has on what he holds dear. Outstanding.

    Hey, Travis!
    This is a cool picture. By looking at the title and then seeing the guy with a fistfull of money shaking it at you, it works. On his other side you've got a contorted hand doing God knows what, to a cup of "Do Not" something or other. Good job.
