Very nice photo, Martina. You’ve chosen a very interesting point of view for the subject. Most would not have seen this composition. It works very well. Very nicely done.
Thank you very much. Yes, I thought it might be a little bit too boring to just stand in front of this piece of art and take the photo. I thnk what also works nicely is that the head is on the same level as my head (i.e. my camera) is.
And I just thought about what James has said about the passers by – tourists I would guess.
So … he made it clear of the wall only to be face to face with a tourist who wants to shake his hand …

Traveling back in time and discovering a wall he must get through. Life is filled with barriers.
Indeed. But one should always try to break through the barriers.
And this fellow has almost made it clear of the wall.

That left hand is a touch creepy. Must be passers by rubbing a shine on the fingers. Wonderful find.
Huuuu, yes, absolutely. I didn’t realise that. Spidery and creepy.
