Description
French Quarter
New Orleans, Louisiana
I was trying to get a picture of the patina on that old wall, and this guy was in my way. Cropping him out would have crowded the view of the wall, and besides ... he sort of grew on me. I like his rather bored expression.

WOW! The texture in those old doors, I sincerely hope you shot those head on?
Without him is my preference as this would have been excellent... but I do get what you mean with his presence in the image. Sometimes things work out after the fact (as they have for me some cases) :)
Yeah, he could have turned his head away, if he didnt want his picture taken :-)
He reminds me of one of Chip's photographic subjects, sticking his head into your shot. I think it works here. And those doors really are wonderful!
Mega geek! I rather like it.
The green tones in the wood compliment his tee shirt.
Wonderful and interesting capture
i see your point, works well
The hinges on the doors draw my attention. Though simple, there is a utilitarian beauty of design there, you don't see such things in modern workmanship.
He doesn't look bored to me. This guy is either a wanted fugitive who is unhappy about having his picture taken or works for the CIA & thinks you've just blown his cover...
He is rather heavy-lidded. Great shot of the wall!
I think he was hoping you weren't going to blow his cover.... He's actually Edward Snowden, in disguise you know..... :-P That patina on the doors is actually quite lovely. A fun shot, Tara!
You know, he does look a bit like Snowden! Hmmm ...
Probably wondering why you aren't pointing the camera directly at him. Such worn and colorful doors and wall. Makes me wonder what's inside.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Haha!!! you crack me up! maybe he was checking out who the hottie holding the camera was? hehe
