Good find. I like the gritty textures and look of the environment.

However, even the in-focus area is lacking in sharpness, and there appears to be a lot of noise reduction or JPG artifacts in the dark areas. This being a static subject, supporting the camera with a tripod or even a monopod might have helped; you could have used a much lower ISO, longer shutter speed and even smaller aperture if you so chose. If you started with a clean and sharp image from the camera and processed to get this same look and feel it would be excellent.

Took me a while to see the guy's head in there, it was just so unusual. Very cool.

I liked the shadows in your shot, and I like the simplicity of color here - it really made the 'white' balloons stand out.

I like it...a bit of a retro feel to it.
