Yes :) The problem is that he is looking at me (at camera) and it is hard
to ignore him - at lesat for me. Please make a following experiment:
put your hand on this photo and cover _whole_ left side. Now
you have a perfect, closed story :)

Of course. Thats why I added MHO (my humble opinion) :) But your photo
I like most ( a front entrance one - http://www.streetphoto.net/images/homepic3a.jpg )
does not have any distractions. everything in it falls where it (IMEHO*)
should be :) Previous week one is also harmonious.. :)
*) in my extremely humble opinion :)
