For Get Pushed this week @bookcasefrenzy asked me to take "something gritty and urban".

@bookcasefrenzy To easy!

I'm surprised he is allowed - perhaps you should hide behind that bust and wait for the coppers to arrive - that would be gritty!

[karenann]

Well ... maybe he feels more protected there amongst the conquistadors and the liberators!

[Aleksandra]

Great push shot! The clarity from this camera looks great!

[Karen H]

Gritty. It would be hard for any one to push you. You do so many kinds of wonderful photos

[Kathryn Marshall]

At first, I did not notice the man on his makeshift bed, because I was admiring your composition of the conquistadors. Definitely a good shot for the push challenge of gritty and urban.

[Veronica Brewer]

Honor and desecration in the same frame. nice shot.

[Mags]

Wonderful capture of these sculptures! Great tones!

[Allison Maltese]

I like the repeated lines and angles in this shot and the funny juxtaposition of the sleeping figure and the statues.

[Tony]

Interesting capture, stayed in the pub across the street earlier this year.

[Kerri]

Cool

[Sue Wilde]

Mmmm That would appear to meet all conditions

[ShanneW]

nice get pushed, and yes, very gritty and urban

[Caroline]

Well done Peter, looks like you need a harder challenge!

[Dione Giorgio]

So lovely!

[Carole Imes]

Cool catch of the napper....one never knows what one will find and where! Great "street" capture among the art pieces.

[Princess Fairlane]

Great street shot! gritty and urban :D

[EvaHenriette]

Cool shot. Well done.

[Diane]

Very nice--this certainly is different for you.

[Aaron]

Great response Peter!
