First Impressions
Unusual effect and capture of life in color. The power/telephone line catches my eye.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
The composition is quite sound and I don't mind the slight skew. The strange effect of the man, who almost appears to be shuffling along, is enhanced by the house in better focus in the rear. The power/telephone line at first detracts, but grows after a while, but not too much for me. The ivy/vine growing up it enhances that 'element growth' in the image.
A "drive-by shooting", well yes, it does look like that, but I think you've pp'd it to give a unique feel enough that it doesn't seem snapshottish. The feel from the pp is a little 'dark', but the contrasting 'bright blue sky' balances it out. Would like to have seen a little more context, or even a different vantage point giving more interest in the depth and rear.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
130/135 and a score of 4.02 probably doesn't surprise you. I know you submit images that appeal to you and that is the creative key.
You have to like the honesty in comments during anonymous voting.
Summary
It has some interest for me as the viewer, but once my mind absorbs it for what it is (suburban scene, old man shuffling down street), I'm ready to move on from it. That said, this is your artistic vision and outlet, but you obviously like the feedback on it - so now you have mine for this image. |

I love that you mix things up. My own photography is still pretty much plain-old, normal stuff. But TS and others are giving me more of an appreciation of out-of-the-box photography. I've had fun experimenting more and enjoy many more photos than I used to.
That being said, the wire is distracting :D |

| Very blurry. Kind of doesn't do the concept justice. |

is it me or is it out of focus?
now there is nothing wrong with an out of focus object but in this case I don't feel that it helps the picture -5 |

| Things needs to be sharper here. I dont have a problem with bluring but currently there is nothing sharp in this pic which breaks it down for me. It needs to be level as well |
