Very interesting. Great candid capture. Perfect focus on the guy. I'd like to know what your shutter speed was on this shot.

That is funny to see the hand handing out of the doorway. Good eye.

Comment by dafletchr:
I really love your original composition, too. Great framing. The overlay is ok, itis a little dark and heavy. But I agree with SJ Carter - that original is a keeper.

Comment by gwe21:
yes mysterious shot. I agree with the cropping too. I think that if you crop out the left side of the wall, it will give it a different feel to it.

Comment by Ken:
It's late and my brain isn't working right. Is the blur/noise on the people or everything else? This sounds like the Orton Effect, except that you sharpen the background, put copy in multiply and blur it, then do levels since it gets darker.

I think what you've done here really makes them stand out, and you've caught a great moment.

It has that Grapes of Wrath - Dust Bowl - old-time look. Love the orangey/red tones - definitely something different. I'll have to try it.

You certainly imparted a high amount of moodiness here.
