Ken, this is one of the few photos in the challenge that didn't make me puke. OK, I exagerate, but it is one of my favorites. I had meant to come back and bump it up but ran out of time. Sorry it didn't do better. I love it.

I've seen barbershop images that were very sterile looking, but this has a real home town "feel" to it. Again, the simplistic color schema works very well, the imagery of a practical place to hang and chat is present, football game on the screen, clearly a "man cave" of a sort - this is a terrific image. Can't say enough about it. Well done.
