Way to go! Slight abstraction, putting the subject a bit off the main point of interest. Dosing these things is an art itself. these little things show how good you really are, and how well you think it all over before taking the shot.

Interesting decor and scene.

Kal, you are amazing! a grotesque curtain that pretends to be the 'real life' is ruined by true life, the life of hard workers and simple bikes... no mobile, no fancy clothes, no blur vision.. just life as it is. Excellent! V

An awesome metaphor for our larger-than-life dream, distorted and blurred compared to the sharp-edged but banal reality. Bravo!!!

This big image, with a somewhat "rosy" point of view, contrasts with the three characters' (one being probably a construction worker) very down to earth attitude. It is almost as if the lady on the right on the poster is getting ready to ride the bike.

Excellent image. The elements all come together perfectly. Love the distortion of the digital image and peeled back canvas. Of course, the tricycle parked in front anchors it all and provides an effective "reality" vs. "illusion" contrast. Vote.

Great Kal, I love the way you find new and exciting subjects in your Shanghai. This is very dynamic and gives a sense of the multilayered nature of society in large cities which love to present themselves through the fantasy of large advertising boards. The reality is literally bursting through the corporate facade. You can't get more real than that there tricycle!!Very very good
