Very interesting. The "painter" placement and how he seems to look somewhere outside the frame is very nice. The big stones/wall on the left balance the image and also lead to the "painter". The paint colors offer a good contrast vs the different walls.
I like it a lot.
Francois, thanks for looking and for your comments, appreciated.
I was tidying the computer and happened upon this file which had escaped my memory, why I hadn't processed it all those years ago escapes me. I guess the moral of this is to never throw anything away!
I also found a few others that could be worth revisiting. I don't know, but perhaps updates to software help shed new light on old files?
