Hi Georgios,
A very detailed and interesting street view. The graffiti adds some very eye-catching colours, looks like a "more-than-average" artistic street painting.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Georgios

Lol! Some very impressive street art and skilfully photographed too. Good sharpness framing & saturation. Looks like some interaction going on between the male figure & the car! The right angled footpath at right adds interest. Tfs!

Kalimera Georgios,
HHH on a corner collected nicely. Fine details and DOF down the street.
I still do not know if it's merely daily life pic., as you marked - or a bit humorous, with sarcastic virtue.
Nevertheless, spotted nicely.
Ike

Hello Georgios,
This may not be the most flattering view of Thesssaloniki, but it probably reflects the situation in the country and the expressions of most people better than the posh boulevards and squares in the touristic city centre. The long line of posters and other written messages show that there is a lot of activities going on. This is a well spotted an interesting view.
Kind regards,
Gert

Γεια σου Γιώργο,
Σήμερα είναι η πρώτη μέρα του νέου έτους που βρήκα λίγο χρόνο να απαντήσω σε μερικές φωτογραφίες φίλων στο ΤΕ. Πολύ όμορφη και ενδιαφέρουσα φωτογραφία από μια γωνιά με την σύγχρονη κατάσταση της Θεσσαλονίκης!
Καλή Χρονιά με υγεία, Βασίλης.

Hi Georgios
Seems artwork-graffiti cum wall painting is a world wide expression these days. Isn't it amazing how this 'fig' is made but it certainly would still work to convey the message. It's the combination to the rustic wall that makes this work and the impact comes from the vehicle as a second figure to balance and making a connection there. A really good clear image, the scale and colors but importantly you can't deny the immense graphic strength of this photograph. Superbly done!
Best regards

Allô Georgios
Une scène impressionnante comme j'en ai vu souvent dans les caraïbes si on s'éloigne un peu des sites touristiques. Une photo bien captée et plutôt humoristique à voir le personnage sur le mur et le camion. Bonne angle de prise de vue.
Cordiales salutations de la République Dominicaine,
Emilius
