This scene just screamed 'Orwell' at me. I hope I have done him justice.

All C&C welcome.

Really nice image... You see things in a way that I am not able to...

Thank you Richard.

Love that - could be a Tom Waits album cover

If it weren't for the Starbucks sign I would have pegged this for a vintage capture, nicely done.

Before I saw your comment, the moment the image came on screen, I too thought 'Orwell'. You nailed it.

It would be more suggestive without the Starbuck in it.
Which book of Orwell are you referring to?

George

Thank you Andrew.

Actually it made me think of 'Down and out in Paris and London'

It needs the Starbucks to reference it in time and place. Things are today as they were then....sadly!

Now I understand.
I doubt he could afford the Starbuck prices.. Well done.

Thank you George.

Well done. A really striking image. I never would have envisioned this when viewing the original scene. However, did you deliberately leave it tilted down to the left? It's not much of an angle, but given the high-contrast line in the middle, it's very apparent. I tried straightening it, and IMHO, it looks better when straightened.

Very nice, I like the look.

Thanks Dan...the wall itself isn't straight, it has a slight corner at the 2/3 horizontal mark heading back into a recess where the man on the far right is standing.

Thanks Dave.
