    Looks good.

    My first thought....

    "Life Sucks" - is too sharp to be really there .... if it really was on the wall.
    then you need to soften it slightly to blend it into the environment more so as to attract less attention to it and more attention to your main subject. As it is my eyes jump right to the graffiti before anything else.

    Once I get past that I like the rest. There is a certain irony to it.

    I like it, and The lighting is nice.

    Just a guess here, but was the life sucks and jagtag put in during post production? the blacks seem a little new looking.

    Lastly, "one model willing" that's the only other fault that sticks out to me... he looks a little too clean-cut to be homeless. But then again he could be newly homeless person ne_nau.gif

    thanks Sean and Bobby. I thought about it after I had posted it already in the album and went backed and lightened it up some. As for the cleaner look...he is young enough to be a teenager. Its unfortunate about runaways or young people who just cant get a job. This is an unfortunate sight here and other areas I am sure. So this is the replacement...

    Maybe it's because I'm looking at this from a dark monitor, but the first thing my eye jumped to was the sleeping man. It took a few seconds to see the "Life Sucks".

    This is a very powerful image, Joyce. You nailed the lighting on this one! thumb.gif
