This shot feels familiar to me. I like the slanting shadow line and the color treatment. The textured background brings the image to life. The guy with the belly is a nice touch, and provides a good juxtaposition to the promise of youth embodied by the young girl. Your titling is nicely cheeky as well. For me, this is a 9.
I like this image and I don't like this image. I love the serendipity of the image as it is. At the same time I don't like the shirtless older man. I don't know - I think I see this as two images in one. Let me go back. I think the stong parts of this image are the lighting, the wall texture and tone, the contrasting textures and tones of the girl and her scooter. The redness of the man, his awkward position, take away the -for lack of a better word - gentleness of the scene. All those elements pull together very nicely. Then again, the juxtaposition of a shirtless man lends something altogether different to the image. It definitely creates tension. Maybe if he wasn't so red. I don't mind the red hat at all. His skin tones just pull my eyes right to him at the detriment of the rest of the image. That's about as well as I can put my finger on it. Sorry! 8 - Good luck in teh challenge!
Interesting contrast of many things. Love the old wall with the human element in front of it. The old and the new, the stationary and the mobile. This is pretty well thought out or I'm way overanalyzing it. His red hat and blue seat make a nice snap of color. 8
