First, what a great title! I was laughing even before I opened the photo. "Attica, Attica, Attica!!!" <g> Second, yeah, I like the colours and the graphic style, too (looks like it could be a highschool or college team mascot). But what I ~really~ like is those little details that don't jump out at first glance, but which are patently obvious at second or third glance, that let us know that this is a painting on a garage door. The padlock in the middle, the paint loss and weed at the bottom, the shadow at the top. I don't know why, but for me those little things take it above simply a photograph of someone else's art, into the real of a "found object". I'm not expressing myself well here, so hopefully someone will figure out what I'm trying to say. A very cool, very fun photo. thanks, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
