 I think is more funny than ironic ...
I took this pick in the morning after sending my daughter to the kindergarten. The guy was deeply asleep.
Autolevels, reduce magenta saturation to get rid of some colour aberations, some contrast adjusting and USM. Than resize for DPChallenge!

That is hilarious, if he only knew that in that time that he took that short nap he would have his picture taken and put on a website for people all over the world to see, I love it.

Really marvelous irony. The man's face is just a tad unclear, but what a great capture! 9

Nice candid, Or at least it seems as real as if you happened to come upon this man unexpectedly. Nice colors, light, I like the diagonal of the sidewalk - it balances things grafically, but also adds to the irony by making your eyes move through the picture while the subject snoozes. A favorite.
