very powerful - and the figure pointing to the left gives the impression of turning its back to the onlooker
excellent, truly excellent

Comment by Paul:
This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Great low fidelity image - lovely well matched tone and grain.

2. I love the iconic M being juxtaposed with the steeple - it provokes thinking around capitalist and religious doctrine and the social gullibility that is endemic within our world.

3. I love that pole on the left - random and stark, a distractor for distraction's sake.

Overall, a nicely made (counterculture) image.

Norman Rockwell, I presume. Scarey thought.

The grain and monochrome helps take this snapshot-style photo and transform it into a photo worth contemplating. Good work.

Oddly grotesque but I suspect many can relate to chasing a memory.

I don't know why I like this image so very much. Different in so many ways
