oh what a lovely war

I'm not a big critique guy, but this one caught my eye. I think I would have liked to see a bit more space around the word "house". Though I suspect that it was part of a larger word, and that might not have been possible.The head in the "o" will be seen by some as contrived I think, but for some reason the guy is interesting enough looking that I don't mind. I think I might have liked to see the words on his shirt in hopes that there was more context for the image, perhaps having him cross his arms lower (if this was posed), and also dropping the hat out. But if it was a candid, it's hard to make that stuff happen.

Overall, the lack of context is what harms this image the most for me. The "War" title, the "house" in the background, a somewhat stern or grumpy subject, etc. I come away feeling a bit frustrated because I can't figure out what is going on.
