    Love the poncho, love the color, love the posturing, most of all, I love the photo. Even the child in the background has one--a mini-poncho for munchkins. ;))

    Great picture and great subject. I like his erect posture and his apparent pride.

    Good grief, just straighten that photo, will you. Please. Shame he has electrics coming out of his head, similarly coloured distractions close by and is smoking a handrail. Just a little more of the paving below his feet would've centered him nicely. Nice strong contrasting white red and blacks. Yes, I agree, great stance too. And the hat beautifully framed between pillars.
