Why So Serious?

[Rebel]

Spotted this guy with Joker make-up on in some sort of office, I like the surreal look of this image due to the reflections and clouds.

Nice title, nice image - apart from the bird poo! Can you clone that out? I understand you might be a bit photojournalist with these street shots, with little editing - fair enough if this is so.

I'd also look at a tighter crop myself, at least to crop out the wall edge on the left of the frame, and maybe take a bit off the top, but a more aggressive crop concentrating on the reflections could also work.

Good eye Matt, and an interesting image.

Cheers Simon,

I didn't really want to do much editing on these types of shots, I did originally crop out the wall and window frame but it didn't really sit right with me at the time. Perhaps I'll give it another go later with fresh eyes.

Matt, very, very interesting and cool shot. I had to re-read and look twice to realize that joker actually IS in the building, I initially thought he was on the street behind you.

Now wouldn't it be real creepy if that joker guy started showing up in more of your photos?

Nice capture of the Joker and yourself as well. Very crisp conversion.

Just needs some Friday the 13th sound effects.

What makes it interesting for me is your image being superimposed upon his. Adds to the surreal nature.

Cheers Sergio, I was a bit unhappy with the positioning of me in relation to the Joker to be honest, but I didn't really have time to compose it any better.

Well...it does not matter how you see it composed at the time, we are looking at one of your masterpieces here and it resonates well...
