I like the composition and the lighting and the pose... not too crazy about the colors in front of his face. But either way its a great photo.

Thanks for all the comments.
about the picture

The picture was taken the same day the gay parade took place in Jerusalem.
Almost every year we have the same argument in Israel, should there be a gay parade in Jerusalem? one side saying that the gays have every right to parade just like any other citizens and the other side saying that a gay parade in Jerusalem is an insult to all three big religions and should not take place in the city of god.
Last year I took some picture of the gay parade and this year I decided to go and take pictures of the orthodox Jews demonstration (they were both happening at the same time, in different parts of the city.)
The main guy in the picture is a bit of a weirdo and all the kids were chasing after him (I think he is a bagger), he was trying to get rid of them and sometime he spoke or cursed at them. The funny thing was the language he used which was very old Hebrew. I think the guy thinks he lives in king David time.

lol, that's funny. Don't really get "urban landscape", but a nice capture.

this is the technically better of the two, but it lacks the expressions of the first. i like this, but your entry, for me, is just amazing.
