Never tried this sort of shot before, and don't see many of them so hard for me to critique my own shot. Your thoughts would be great. Does it tell a story? Is it interesting?

Always difficult trying to 'setup' a shot like this as it could be quite touchy.
It needs a slight CCW turn and I would crop the top down to the brickwork thus removing the corrugated fascia. I might also crop bottom and left making it more like your 'typical' letterbox shot with the shadow just into the left side of the pic.

Does it tell a story?
Yes I think it does ... a very old, long-standing controversial story.

You're right, not seen that many of these (probably a good thing).

As far as the image itself goes, I would certainly crop out the van, it distracts my attention. Otherwise, a good street shot in my opinion.

thanks for the replies guys.
gramps, the shot is much wider than this and wasn't quite sure how close to go in, but will crop the top and bottom and maybe the van too, as suggested by Trevr and post later for you guys to compare. completely new to this sort of shot so thanks guys.
