Three Men at the Mosque

When I made this photo, I didn’t see him, the third man. It wasn’t until I started processing the photo that I noticed him. And I must say I had my doubts. Should he stand? Or should he go?. I ended up – as you can see – keeping him in there. I don’t understand why, but he adds something to the photo. Here we have this cool-looking portrait of these two men, and then there is this head “sticking” out of the wall. It takes the seriousness out of the whole thing, and I really like that.

What do you think? Should he stay or should he go?
