I only gave you a 6, but I was in a bad mood. I also gave pointandshoot, muur88 and xion a 6 in this challenge. My average vote was probably around 4. I'm experimenting with using the full 1 to 10 scale. But enough about me. What do I think about your picture? It's actually quite good. It has a lot of energy, which I feel from the texture and the composition. The horsie is a work of Modern Art, as is your entire picture. You have a knack for integrating art into a photograph, which then becomes another work of art. Vicious Cycle!

PAW - He looks very pleased to be working a job he's overqualified for. I like the comparison with the equally out of place native American (apparently) in the picture. I might suggest cropping out some of the right side and bottom to see the subject better.

Certainly helps keep things in perspective. Nice to see such a good attitude from a bad set of circumstance.

I really like the depth of the image, lots going on yet not much at all. I'm curious too about your title.
