Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.

This is an interesting composition. I like the placement of the statue in the frame. Not quite getting the connection to the challenge; is it the statue that is out of place next to this historical building? On the technical side, the image would improve at least 1 to 2 points in scoring if it was better focused (it's blurry). All JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

This guy looks really familiar, like I seen him before. What character brought out by good editing.

Couple of things that aren't working for me in this shot: First, the composition seems really off and out of balance. The statue and building elements in the right and lower right are really heavy and the negative space in the upper left doesn't offset them. If you could have managed an angle that would have placed the tower further to the left of the frame, that might have helped. Second, it looks as if you have either desaturated the statue or it is being lit differently from the background buildings. This gives the effect of the statue not being a true part of the composition, but rather something that was cut and paste in. (Note, I'm not saying that you did PS the statue in, just that the color and light on the statue give that impression.) This detracts from the impressiveness of the angles used to achieve this natural composition. One other thing, while the subjects do seem out of time to the present, I don't know that they are readily out of time to each other. Seems like there is a lot of potential here, but the execution needs work.

I'm not sure how dating the building helps with the anachronism,the clock still seems contemporary to the building. Perhaps if it were digital.
Interesting angles, and like the use of desaturation
