Ha ha! I love it! It looks like the little guy is waiting for just the right moment to spring his friends. This image tells a great story.

Hi there - I like the story unfolding in your image ... but what I like most is the treatment you gave this photo ... the effect of a "frame" from a roll of film and the color tone .. expertly done my friend

..very nice story conveyed by your photo here..the look on the 'Hero' (almost..but not yet..lol..) made me smile..attempt to rescue would work well too with the picture..with all of your subjects i think you do street photography the best..

There several extraneous things I like about your photo. I like the black edges as it gives the photo a movie feel. I like the color and busy background as it contrasts so nicely with his nearly stone sculpture appearance of the birdman. I like that he his holding his umbrella over the "prisoners." As for the heart of your photo, it's just a great street photography moment. He's so lost in thought, he's unaware of the possible prison break. Funny and poignant. Nice!
