Ebay on Mars

As a straight photo, I am not sure how well this one works, seems sort of average. It might not be too bad as a black and white "street" style photo. Admittedly the solarization, if that is what it is is somewhat interesting, but I don't think it saves an otherwise average shot. It also seems very cluttered. The only strong compositional elements are the man in the hat and the mini van, but they just don't interact very well for me. not enough tension.

The muted effect is great bit much to busy

It's funny! But the van is to much of a distraction from the man. He is the funny part of the story
