Really striking image, Michael. Might have been better to have both legs up with the hands on the knees (same pose) but this image works quite well the way it is! Great work! markjay

Excellent moody moment, and the graffiti really adds to it. Melanie (mlynn)

I love this one and the graffiti really makes it. Good pose, good tones, lots of interest.

I really like this shot. Bogdan

Thanks all.

Lee, the grafitti really was there, no photoshop. However, I'll tell a story on myself. I thought ewwww, I don't want grafitti just behind the head of the main subject. I set about cloning it out in photoshop. As I was cloning it out, I read the words for the first time. About half way through cloning out the grafitti, it suddenly dawned on me..."Nooooooo", said I. I backed up in the history palette and the grafitti remains. Sometimes art is "made"...sometimes it just happens :-)

Wonderful location and lighting.
