Y'know, Medic. To be perfectly honest, the first thing that went through my mind is that it looks as if the guy is checking to see if anyone is looking before taking a leak...

...first impressions are everything.?.

Damned, never saw that he was about to "pee" :P Was just a shot that I tok when I noticed the guy and the signs when I lifted my head out of the book I was reading. Perhaps I should change the name to The One and Only man that looks like he is peeing :P

But besides the peeing man what do you think?

Ha! Like the new name. What is there is well captured (hand-held, I assume) other than the greenish-yellow tint from the flourescent lights, which could be adjusted easily if captured in RAW. I'm afraid this photo will not "speak" to most viewers. I think they will just see a bunch of signs that don't really say anything meaningul to them. Perhaps if you had someone do a cheezy super-hero pose in costume, the words on the signs might play the comedy card to some - or even better, if you were able to place a famous, iconic acter/actress/sports hero, etc. in front of the signs, it might work well (and sell) - but as is ... not so much...

Regards,
Mark

My first impression was inappropriate peeing too. It makes for a very amusing photo! The only thing I'm not crazy about is the blue glare on the left.
