Richard, don't want to offend, but I find it hard to buy into this 
particular photograph as well.  The negative space doesn't work with the 
chappie's back to it.

As for the caged effect, he looks unperturbed, and all together far too 
comfortable with it. As a result, to me, there's no tension. You've done 
much better with others in the past. That said, I prefer it to the many 
flower pictures we see here, as I consider Leica to be all about street 
photography and reportage. In my opinion, that is the platform that Leica 
made its brand upon. Naturally, other people's opinion of this might differ 
a bit from my own.

I will now duck down beneath the table :-)
