I prefer this one to your other shot of the same place:
Being closer to the painting reproduction provides more details to look at. |

| It's easy to recognize your style, once you have been at DPC for a while... Nice shot, as usual. |

| I knew it was yours even before I stumbled upon your "affluence" shot :). Lovely echo between poses of the the man on the street and in the painting. Makes me wonder, maybe there is a woman behind him somewhere? And the tonal rage is great as always. What is it on the wall, by the way, Titian, Rubens? Looks generally familiar but I can't place it |

| Very nice setting...The painting serves as a strong reminder that sometimes life just isn't as dramatic as we depict it. |

| Mr Clarke, I presume. I so want to know the story of the painting/picture on the wall, and why Dan felt he had to add his bit to it. |

| What keeps this from being a 10 from me is that the man is tucked into the truck... had we seen him looking at the shot or walking to or from the truck he'd have added that last little bit of umph you'd need to push this into 10 catagory. Not sure why this image is on the wall but it's a great find with good post processing. |

I would love to see this one in color. I think the B&W might have been a mistake. The painting on the wall looks to be colorful. It would have been a nice contrast. I hope you post the color version after the challenge.
Best of luck, its a great capture. |

| Hmmm...Why would there be a painting like that on a wall out on the street like that? But let's never mind that; a bit odd at first but not terribly interesting in and of itself. The image in its entirety, however, is a different story. On one hand, I see a contradiction between the wholly inelegant, sterile, characterless, utilitarian desing of the van and the painting into which one assumes that a great deal of passion, care, love (or hate, or both, as the case may be) and self, not to mention a lot of hard work, was poured. This, for some reason, immediately reminds me of what Wilde once said about making a useful thing being forgivable as long as the maker does not admire it and the only excuse for making a useless thing being that the maker admires it intensely...And then on the other hand, we have curious parallels between the positions of the two men's bodies, and between the open door of the truck and the woman on whose lap the man rests his head. I'd rather go no further than having noted these on a solely visual level, and leave the momentarily fun and exciting yet ultimately useless intellectual exercise of trying to find profound meanings and messages to others. I'd just like to say that rarely do I find myself wanting to look at an image for longer than 5 seconds (Regardless of how scintillating an image the photographer thinks it is) and even more rarely (more like "hardly ever"), being inspired to write a longer-than-five-words comment like this...10 |

| What's Gerard Butler from 300 doing to that lady in the painting?! Grea shot, I'm assuming that's a graffiti removal truck? |

| Terrific juxtaposition between the art on the wall and the man with his truck. The duplicaiton of the angles and shapes is good. Nicely seen. |
