Tyre (Sour) - "Welcome en Lebanon"

This picture probably doesn't stand just on it's own: it is a part of a set. I would be interested in some feedback anyway. The series contained orginally different picture with similar subject. Recently I have discovered this one in my archive and gave it a precedence over the original one.

Michal, I am not entirely sure that I agree that this photograph will not stand well on its own. In a well constructed story each should be capable of standing on its own, just strengthened by the sequencingl

This is a wonderful photograph with an interesting message which seems to be contradictory to my assumptions about Lebanon. I wish that the note in the lid of the box were more legible and how that connects with what seems to be artifacts or coins in the lower portion of the box, which is where caption or narrative takes over. 

There are two things that can be done that I believe would strengthen the photograph because there are two very important areas that are in deep shadow, the top of the note in the box and the right side of the man’s face. I was able to lighten both quite easily although both required masking to contain the corrections to just those two area. In this small size it is still not possible to read more of the note but it might be possible in a larger size. Otherwise this is an extremely well handled photograph.
