Wow, this has so much potential, but I can't get past that vertical pole right in the middle.

Great color and exposure.

I wish you could get rid of the pole in the middle but you'd probably get in trouble for trying to remove it just to take a pic for DPC........ Nice pic though, all of the colors contrast nicely against Elvis......7

Wonderful take on City LIfe! I'm an Elvis fan so you had me at the get go. Nice clean clear crip close up. Good Luck!

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative.

I'll give this a higher score than it probably deserves, just because you've got a poster of "Water" in it (though, really, I should probably give you a "1" for throwing Salman Khan into it: bleh [lol]). Oh, "Kasak" SUCKS!

Might benefit from 'rule of thirds' composition, seems too flatly symmetrical

Augh, that pole. I really wish this was advanced editing.

Cool shot. Toronto? I would have like Elvis to be a bit larger in the shot.

I did not see the person standing there originally. I think there are too many distractions. Focus more on your subject. I think you could have still gotten a very good feel for it if you had cropped from the pole to the left completely out.

I love these people who dress like this! Awesome capture!

If it weren't for that pole! Love the Elvis!

an imagined life. this works for me, perhaps because the imagination is hand in hand with grittiness.

The post running up the center is distracting, but otherwise well done.

good shot

Ah, downtown...

What a cool guy. I'm assuming it's a painted artist that sometimes moves a little. Personally I would have focused more on the person - if not for the title I almost would have missed him hiding there in the corner. As it was it was a pleasant surprise to see him there. Good work.

Crop in on the right half of the image. Use the pole as a frame for the elvis.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 03:22:55 PM
very well done
is that a statue?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 03:04:17 PM
A closeup would be more effective. I would have passed this one by quickly if I hadn't read the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yup, this looks like city. Nice choice of subject and I"m glad you didn't turn it b&w.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Is this nashville? Great composition. It would have been better with the entire store sign in the shot. 7
