Photographer's Note
Epic dans son genre cet homme certainement... Comme le petit magasin voisin,il est plein de relief et de caract鑽e. Le contraste fort entre ce portrait en N&B peint sur un mur de Portobello et cette 馗hoppe haute en couleur m'a plu...

A famous & often seen image of Beckett, yet in this case painted onto a wall. Good details throughout this shot, especially on the portrait itself. the contrast between it & the colourful shop is very strong, yet it still makes a good urban scene.

Very good picture. The painting is excellent. May look better in black and white.
Thanks for post,
Nicolas.

This photo is missing something to me. The place is nice, but Im not getting any story from it. I dont think its enough to just shoot such posters or murals. For a photo to be very good, I would expect there to be another element here. A person. A person who is in some way interracting with the large face. A woman looking at it and/or the eyes of the painted face looking at a passerby. Any sort of interaction, subtle or not. Also, on the right side, theres a bit of a problem. You should have cropped the photo there as that one headlight of the car, and whats worse, the arm of somebody, is visible. I think those sorts of details end up looking a bit sloppy. Infact, I would love to have seen SOMETHING fill the right side of this photo. It just begs for a person to be there. And that one you got an arm of would probably have done the job quite well. As it stands, the photo is unbalnced and quite littered.
If I may suggest, change your POV. Shoot this head on at a 90 degree angle. The PERFECT way to compose this scene for me would have been with the black wall taking up all of the frame, the eyes looking to the left of the photo and a passerby right under, or a bit to the left of his right eye. That would just make a nice, crisp, clean image. No clutter, no mess.

Jeff,
A very nice image of one of Irelands famous sons Samuel Beckett. I love the contrast of the colour and black and white. Well spotted.
Cheers
Peter
