Oh yeah! This is such a cool shot. I think the only possible reason it did not get a 6+ is the shadow over Monroe...something you no doubt had no control over.
What sets this apart from other photos of murals is that the boy seems to be entering the illusion. The aggressive shadows help this create. Marilyn is utterly transformed by the shadow as Bogie looks on in horror. 10
Overall I like it, wish the shadow on the bottem of Marilyns face wasn't so strong and feel it would be better if you could see both his feet but I do like the picture in general.
Intriguing photo. Smokin as in the habit, or as in "hot"? Both, I guess. Great subject for B&W. Good shadows and highlights. Tonal varitaion throughout.
