I like the store front, a very fifties look. The light on the man and sidewalk is harsh, not much that can be done about this. I might be tempted to run a brush over it to lower the contrast but not sure how effective this would be.

thanks crb. I actually prefered the "harshness of the street". I was also interested in the metephor created by the harsh aspect. So - in the end, your comment means a great deal to me - I have achieved my goal. Thanks for commenting.

the irony here is that the man seems to be still on the street even though the sign screams easy credit? could it be that the easy credit ended up making him homeless? well done Blair!

Timely

Blair:

A timely subject, well conceived and executed. though I would agree that the sidewalk might be toned down just a tad.

Best wishes...
