For Discussion: Does this work as a street image?

Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 20mm f1.7

I saw this scene from across the street, and just used what I had mounted on my GF1, so this image is heavily cropped from the original. Fortunately, the sharpness of the 20mm saved the day.

What do you think of it? Good, bad, indifferent, or ... what?

What title would you suggest for it?

Thanks for your consideration.

What I like about the image is the slope downward and the shadows seeming to move in the opposite direction. The subject is distracted by the hydrant imo. A keeper though

I agree Dan, the hydrant location was unfortunate. :)

if you are asking if this is a street image then yes, it is.
does it work as an effective image? yes, it makes me think about it, the placement of everything in it and what exactly is going on. it brings back street scenes of new york for me where people take advantage of all kinds of 'real estate'.

Title...Late Afternoon Bay Area Sun Bathing. The green cap I find helps the shot by accenting just enough color. The light angles with the individual looking into the sun gives me a sense of cold and the need to find some warmth.

"In The Mind: at the beach" Has a laid back feel, the slant of the sidewalk and relaxing eyes-closed seated postion. The fire hydrant, to me, symbolizes water here. Feet soaking in the wet sand as the waves wash in over and over. I think there's more to read into this with the wheelchair sign, transitions in life perhaps. It sits there like a cartoon thought bubble... Magically, we are given insight written on the wall.

Nice post to interpret and push our thoughts.
