I agree, great pic, but missing the point of the thread lol!
Taken with an old sony cybershot t3. Appleby Fair is a brilliant event to photograph. I was filming there at the time

Good shot but if it's a spot the difference competition I'm struggling
The General Rioja, a bit of a street face around the Plaza Mayor, Madrid sits for a characature by one of the street artist.
The General gets up, has a look and makes a few suggestions as to how the work might be improved, which the characaturist takes with some equanimity.
However, a passer by, something of an art critic, makes a derogatory remark. The General gets up and a bit of argy bargy ensues.
Once the critic has been sent packing with some choice words, the General has a closer look at the portrait and concludes that the critic may have a point, something he communicates to the artist.
The artist is not best pleased to be criticised for doing what is basically a favour, so he screws up the portrait, hurls it to the floor, and exits stage right in a fit of pique.
The General affects disdain for a while, but after a few swigs of the good stuff, he ambles over to the screwed up portrait and spreads it out on the cobbles of the Plaza. He regards it for some time, and then delivers his final verdict by stamping on it and leaving it on the ground.
As my cameraman observed, in the end, the two antagonists had to agree, the work was of little merit.
