Excellent story of an image. I especially like the graffiti on the wall.

I love the dof, mostly.. the layers of focus play with my mind.. there's a story. And the purple hat.. and more.

i like this. the customer is the furthest from focus, the guy on his cell caught between and the broom in glorious detail. not likely to score highly but rest assured this image has been appreciated

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 8s - I like it a good deal. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Fascinating choices you've made - suggest a story and then confine it to 'mere' background while trying to distract us with a couple of brooms. I think that is a little bit of genius!

2. The back room / scene makes us want to shift our viewing perspective and to get a better sense of what is going on.

3. That flash of green and red attracts our attention and we begin to wonder what those artefacts are.

Overall, an image steeped in ambiguity. Great stuff.

Really cool that the focus is on the brooms. Love how sharp and desaturated they are. That wall and the textures on it look amazing. Also it's nicely divided in two halves - one out of focus and one in focus. Love it.

Awesomely seen and captured, I want to sweep and listen to that conversation, then sit down for a short back and sides. 10
