where is the english for the big sign, here in america it would have to be both spanish and english.

Its interesting but I wish it had a different angle and that his feet weren't chopped off.
I think there could be a real social/political statement here.

It's not bad GB other than the feet cut off. I think cropping off the slight bright area on the left side would help somewhat.

You did a good job with bad light but there is too much sky at the top of the frame and not enough feet and shadow at the bottom.

Not a great photo but a nice snapshot.

Guys - Thanks for your comments. YES -- I immediately recognized that I should not have cut off this fellow's feet like that .... rookie mistake for sure. I think I was in too much of a hurry because I felt the guy would move very soon... This has happened several other times when shooting in Mexico, the people look at me with a camera aimed at them, it takes about 3 seconds to register, and they decide they don't like it or something and turn away or stick their hand up to block or something defensive. (I haven't learned the art of putting people at ease yet.... Gotta work on that bedside manner.) So, I quickly fired this off and didn't compose as well as I should have. I think that's why I didn't post this before -- it's at least 2 yrs old.

It's quite a crop btw MB... I guess I could play with it some more but without putting the feet back on I don't know how much better it'll get. I think I've hit the wall.
