What a shot!

It's tough to follow a comment by Phil - so, yes, what he said. Or maybe I would have cut out the picture in the window and just concentrated on photographing that nice looking photographer.

So many layers in this photo - so many photos in this photo. It's a photo of a photographer, and of a photographer making a photo, and the picture in the window that's a painting, and the shadow on the wall and door that's it's own subject, yet so bound up with the rest of the photo.

I first saw this barber shop in Dave's gallery on the Backroads of California (http://www.pbase.com/davewyman/image/58739081 ) -- he shoots the window itself for its incongruities. You change the message entirely by shooting a photographer and his shadow photographing the window, placing incongruities upon incongruities. It it was my shot, I would probably have opted to go halfway between you and Dave. I would have removed the real photographer and included just his mysterious shadow, which would go well with the theme in the window. That also would have made the sign in the window more legible, as it is in Dave's picture. I love both shots -- the trophy, the sign, the barber pole next to a figure who did not go barbers, plus that wonderful sign gives Dave's image its depth, while you add a satire of street photographers to the mix.
