kinda creepy when I first saw it. I had been roaming the streets of Savannah , Georgia on my trip around the states and stumbled upon this vision through an iron fence. I think it was the color that struck me. of course the lack of an actual body in a life-size overalls caught me too. I couldnt' find the best way to crop any one image so I posted two. Hopefully one of them carries merit. Hope you all enjoy! Comments and critiques welcome as always.

No PS on this one.
I think it is a flowerpot caddy. kind of like the old cereal bowl caddies they made when I was a kid. This instance was the first and last time I have seen such a thing. You may be able to find one at your local lawn and garden under the heading "Lawn ornaments this side of Not Right".

The first one is great! The weeping leaves in the bkg look like smoke giving it that haunting feel.

that shot would look awesome early in the morning with some of that fog that's been around lately (in syd that is).

I'm going against the grain and saying the second one works for me. I like the "looking through the fence" into the unknown.

Maybe it would be more convincing and spooky if the background was more OOF.

I really like them both, but the composition in the first one is fantastic.

Definitely #1 - the framing draws you straight to the overalls. In the second one there are other distracting elements in the shot that take away some of its power.

This is something I was just playing with. this first one is just a color change for the background.

this second one I blurred the background as suggested by embi.
