Excellent, I'm looking at this on a small laptop screen which only showed the top of the image; scrolling down was a surprise. I never think about this as photos are always judged the way they are displayed in frames on walls, but in this case the scrolling really added to the effect of the composition and subject.

I am entirely speechless. (Actually, I had words, but I shan't reproduce them here). This is absolutely amazing. I love it! The man sitting on the steps is so dwarfed by this giant bird thing. The man really put into perspective how huge this mural is. Love the repeating horizontal lines (steps)

Ah this is so excellent, the giant street art and the super look & style of your "model" with the stripes of the stairs in your frame, this is terrific compo ! You have a superb end of week, hoping you cope with the work & all. Hugs*

This is delightfully disturbing ! The sense of scale and surprise and contrast all work together to make an unforgettable image. Excellent work.

So unusual and bizarre with a scale only a large print or projected image would solve. best...jf

What an awesome image! Your composition is just top notch

Artwork like this mural always throws my brain into a spasm. It almost looks like the man sitting on the steps is prey for the bird-human. Interesting scale here...and a very bizarre little scene. I would have run from it, but you had the courage to stay and take the photo. :)

this is cool. I like the contrast between the mural figure and the guy.

Wow, a magnificent shot! Very mysterious art.

Super. The tiny human in the corner seems oblivious to the menace. Also excellent tones.

Sharon, this...is..Awesome!! I love it. Superb framing, wonderful detail, the tones are spot on...a wonderfully visually arresting image! Great work:D

Good heavens. What a dynamic combination. The man is nearly dwarfed by this fabulous art work, but the texture of the stairs on which he rests, balances the whole image. Terrific.

A quite moment together. A quit moment all by himself. This is so damn outstanding, Sharon. Just like your eye. So brilliant, so beautiful! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
