Caught in the act? Looks good -- that noisy wall frames him nicely.

So goes anonymous voting and commenting. There's certainly no need to be sorry. I probably spent more time writing (and rewriting) this comment than any other. I almost let it go, but felt I had to say something. Technically, it's a fine photo and I didn't lowball it. But I did think long and hard about it. So if your goal was to get people thinking (as any good photograph should) then you certainly succeeded.
