Excellent, graphically effective and the watching man definetely belongs to the image. It's not that clear from the image that he's watching, actually, but that's not essential, his shadow is, at least in my eyes.

LOVE IT!!!

Really like the composition here, the placement of the people in the frame really works for me, and I love the contrast of the people against the background.

One of my faves in this contest, its a cracker!

Very cool directional forces in this photo. They contradict each other while at the same time being in harmony.

I like how the guy by the lamp essentially has no shadow. Does that make him a vampire? Can't be - it's broad daylight! Zombie? Witch??
