An interesting tableau, well presented. I'd like to see the two on the right more dominant and the two on the left pushed further into the background - just a thought - good luck

Literal, but still unique take when interpreting the lyrics of this song. Man looks disinterested, sad, alone although in the company of many women (whores, even). I especially like the contrast in skin tones, and the dark, rich colors of the girls' faces.

That guy does NOT seem interested. LOL Great set up. The one in the back left - is she pregnant?

Great set-up and very convincing. Lighting is spot on. I can't think of anything to deduct - 10

A majority of the pictures in this challenge are either very literal interpretations or blatant shoehorns with little to no connection to the titles/lyrics. It's refreshing to see that this captures the essence of the song perfectly. The expression of the "boxer" portrays the loneliness and hardships he faces living in the city. You get a well deserved 10. =)
