Apolitical photo. C&C welcome on the photo and the caption!!

Caption o.k., photograph o.k., but they're not as well connected as you might have hoped.

A couple of things that might help: If the man's eyes were somehow to convey that attitude, and if the text were not superimposed on the stone wall.

These shots with the captions feel too forced.
Let the photo tell the story.
If it can't, then that should tell you something ...

Hi Designer,
Thanks for the C&C. How would you have put the text in?

Hi Sleist,

Thanks for the C&C.
I know they say a picture paints a thousand words, but there is no way for a picture to paint the words I chose. Sometimes you have to find a picture that helps compliment the words.
This was more of me wanting to give over a message, and hoping that the photo would help convey the message.

I'm not even sure how many people understood the message. I showed it to many people, and only 30% of those people understood what I was trying to say. Once I explained, they invariably got the message, and enjoyed it. So, the question then, is either how to modify the message so more people understand it easier, or to leave it as it is, and those that get it, do, and those who don't, don't.

Hi Charlie76,

Thanks for the C&C.
Anything you can think of to make either the message or the photo stronger/better?

As sliest wrote; let the photo tell the story. If it needs the caption, then just write it under the photo.
