Not trying to be difficult here...:-) I know you are not. That's why I tried to identify it in the email with the terms demolition and two-foot walls and placing it in the foreground. I have some other shots of him actually attacking the walls, but I liked his resigned look, and pose almost like a train engineer. It does require some setting up. Many of my shots do, because often what happens in them is totally foreign to outsiders. In this case, the safe, or vault, if you will, would not be recognizable from any angle without some setup. Maybe the title is a herring, but it does describe the guy, and I still like the shot. Maybe use some arrows like they in Dick Tracy?
