 Paint is obviously not new. had this been advanced, it would have been clean!

My husband sitting in the side parking lot at our local grocery store. :-) thanks, nard.

PP: rotated to get a bit more level (it's still crooked). cropped. played with curves to get the wall a bit whiter. played with white balance to get it whiter still. colors -- "I THINK" I desaturated everything but blue (the color of the shirt), shifted the blues to red, then resaturated everything but blue. I also adjusted lightness in there somewhere. Did some noise reduction, resized, bordered, submitted.

I like it, whether anyone else does or not.

this is a nice shot. I love the contrast. The wall is a bright white and then the man and his clothes are really dark. Nice work.

i give this a 6. my reasons are that i wish i could have seen more texture and depth in the lines of the wall. also i don't think the border or the mono-color works well. just bad editing decisions, but yeah, we are all guilty of that. i really like your subject though, very unique and interestiing

Really bright,think the image could have been a little bit bigger against the wall, and still staying within the rules of 3rd.
