Oh my god, what have you done? I don't know if I'm a big fan of this processing although it does have some strange appeal. Actually this character reminds me a bit of Ignatius J Reilly from the book A Confederacy of Dunces, except he looks drunk :)

Thanks for the comments. Yeah Larus, I knew it was very much like that photo you linked to, which then again is also very much like my own photo from last year which was second in that same competition (the two of us were standing next to each other while shooting). I was just there again this year at the same location with a group of friends and didn't feel like leaving the group to get a different angle. But I understand completely why you would give a lower score for a photo you feel you have seen before, and I wondered if that would happen but decided to submit it anyway. Thanks for the comment though.
