A single shot processed with photoshop and tone-mapped. In another processing of this image I added the grunge effect but was afraid it would be considered overdone. Personally I liked the way the building, the street lamp and the street performer came together in the shot with the tilted perspective. It was taken the weekend of the Superbowl so things were beginning to tilt happily here in New Orleans!

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Arrrggghhhh!!! This image hurts my head! I can't get my brain around what I am seeing - where does his ladder go? The top can't be touching the building.... Why is he climbing in the middle of the road?? Why is the top of the lamppost askew? It confounds me! Having said all that, there is bags of interest, vibrant colours and a generally quirky scene. I like it.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: Very interesting - a bit too much so for my poor brain.

The processing really makes this image pop.

Great title....took me a couple seconds before I saw the street lamp.

Lots for the eye to explore in this. I'm trying to figure out what he is doing, as this guy with the ladder appears to be in the middle of the street. Extra pointage for making me stop to look closer.
