I'm too chicken usually for street photography although I kinda get a thrill out of it. So I was trying a more candid method of shooting from the hip, and I caught this one today in Europe. I had to crop bigtime to get the orientation and framing that I wanted, but it's one of those photos that I'm curious to know if other people will "get" the same way I do...

Trashy consumerism versus a nun who took holy vows of poverty?

I like this shot and the juxtaposition of the unholy against the holy.

I have to admit to not seeing anything appealing to me here. But that might be saying more about me than your photo!

Exactly, and what Raiven said, is what I saw. But at the time I was just trying out a candid photo of a nun on the downtown streets of Kosice. I didnt even notice the restaurant was named Saint Giorgio until later in post processing. And with the crop I just liked the cute juxtaposition of faith and commercialism- coke signs etc.
