I love the art of the surrealist painters, especially Magritte and Dali. This is a fairly straightforward version of a Magritte. My next challenge is to work on some variations on the theme.
I love this! As you are working on the project, can I suggest a matt black wool coat instead of the rather distractingly shiny leather jacket? It would give the characteristic reticence and anonymity of Magritte's work, as a basis for your compositional invention.

Yes, very Magritte. I tend to agree with Moira (Mrs Woolybill) about the coat. The shine is a tad distracting but it's an excellent composition and well thought out photo.

So I don't know how many of you are members of Camera Clubs but I entered this as a print in our club's last competition of the season. The judge didn't think much of it and gave it the lowest score, and said he just didn't understand it. Feeling annoyed! Helena
